BRUSSELS: A quip still doing the rounds in Brussels is that “Paris thinks Brexit is the best free gift England has given France in 1000 years.”Thanks for reading Tomorrow's Europe Today!
If, the EU wants that outer ring via EFTA for UK & even Turkey, the news that Iceland has announced a referendum on EU membership, could lend some urgency to that. With Norways election in sep 25, it's not beyond the bounds of possibilities that they subsequently call for a ref, should Erne Soldberg become elected. Just how Starmers Labour party would respond is anyone's guess, but I'll venture it's going to require The City to approve & it's clear that 'equivalency', is not palatable.

Totally agree - and it was interesting how little media coverage the rasing of the trade barrier down the Irish Sea got last week https://www.businessforscotland.com/brexit_trade_barrier_across_the_irish_sea_gets_higher_today
