The support and solidarity of Michel Barnier and his negotiating team is stronger than it has ever been.

Clearly this is a very important week for Brexit negotiations. The two negotiating teams have really intensified their engagement and the support and solidarity is very very strong.

The issues aren’t new. There is still clearly work to do between the two negotiating teams I we need to give them time and space to finish that job and the sooner that can be done the better for everybody.
