France’s foreign minister warns the UK and EU could ‘rip each other apart’ in upcoming negotiations, as Britain prepares to set out a robust position.…

since when is it aggressive from the UK to say it wants to have the ability to run its own affairs

[caxias]

The problem with the UK is they aren't negotiate, UK wants to impose his rules and wills to the EU. We can't have the butter and the money of the butter and the cow...(French proverb).

Good luck, go wto. All the best chaps. Go your own way, but try to undercut your big 27 eu neighbours and reality will sink in. You've got a FANTASTIC leader, release your fantastic potential, it's gonna be great. Goodluck😁😉

Let's not waste anymore time if we both willing to walk away let's just do it now

Time and again I hear the EU demands that the UK have no unfair competitive advantage over the E.U. To me it shows how much of a protectionist racket the E.U really is.. If they were more open, they would realise their economic model is out of kilter. Competition should be encouraged otherwise the E.U will be let behind.

All Brits crossing the Channel to Europe for tourism or residency should be documented with Fingerprints, DNA and Eye scan in each of 27 European Union countries besides passport or driving license.

'Level Playing Field'.... So the EU is going to make all its members pay the same minimum wage the UK pays it citizens????

[bashab]

Hey Euro news why no reports of unrest in France and Spain ?

[jackryan]

No deal brexit is more favorable in the long run, cause you simply open trade deals etc with others instead and then put the EU into a awkward position push the playing field into your favour. The EU is too slow moving and very uncompromising, the UK alone won't have that problem.

[samusaron]

Hey EU wake up days off Freeloading from UK is over ;-)

[ianwhiteley]

Our water our fish our war ships frogie

[icarus]

Aggressive opening from the UK, who is this ridiculous reporter?
Aggressive to control our own standards.

[aldrinvallejo]

We love to see and hear one day that uk government will simply walk away to the EU 27 no deal no problem WTO rules!

[johnsmythe]

The UK can and will be very successful within the WTO, it is simple as that.

[robertheywood]

What is aggressive saying that you are a "free and independent coastal state"

[mucy]

Agressive? Yep, she's another EU shill. Frances statement would be classed as more agressive, i reckon. In the real world, anyway.

[josedourado]

Britain is that negative member in a team. The team knows how to deal with a member like that

[MyRonnierocket]

WTO it is then. The EU can't play hard ball with us. We hold all the cards, no more bullying or empty threats. They need us more than we need them.

[garyreid]

aggressive by the uk in Europe good

Is the main national occupation of Ireland nowadays being an irritating TV reporter on British TV, especially the BBC? Because we have enough of or own home bred idiots reporting. Please feel free to report on your own RTE which thankfully we don't have to endure over here. In other words bog off back to your own wonderful green bogs.
