Brexit Negotiations

Michel Barnier has been appointed to the post of chief Brexit negotiator.  European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he "wanted an experienced politician for this difficult job.”  Quite so.

As an experienced European Politician, Jim Hacker would have observed that, “he has the organising ability of the Italians, the flexibility of the Germans, and the modesty of the French topped off with the imagination of the Belgians, the generosity of the Dutch and the intelligence of the Irish.”

So good luck to the British team!
