'Time Is Very Short' Warns EU Negotiator on Brexit

The chief Brexit negotiator for the EU on Friday said that “huge and serious differences” need to be resolved to avoid Britain crashing out of the trading bloc without a bespoke deal. Chief negotiator Michel Barnier urged British Prime Minister to produce “workable proposals”, emphasising the lack of time before negotiations need to be wrapped up.  Hounded by divisions within her own cabinet over which path Brexit should take, May has struggled to provide details of her visions for Brexit to the EU negotiators. She said on June 29 that a white paper would outline the details of her vision. Speaking at the end of an EU leadership summit, during which Brexit was put on the back-burner as leaders thrashed out an immigration stategy, Barnier said that time was short to create a deal between the EU and the UK.
