PM Boris Johnson Says Britain Should Prepare for 'NO DEAL' Brexit

 The United Kingdom should be prepared for a breakup without agreement with the European Union until a "fundamental" situation changes from the block, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned. He said on Friday that the European Union is refusing to give Britain what it wants - it is a trade deal with Canada.

Boris Johnson was responding to EU leaders, who said at the Brussels summit on Thursday that Britain needed to shift its positions to form an agreement possible. 

"As far as I can see they need to abandon the thought of a trade deal unless there's a fundamental change in approach, we are getting to go for an Australia solution," he said in London. said.

Australia has no comprehensive trade deal with the European Union.

"As far as we are concerned, trade negotiations have ended. A Johnson spokesman told reporters that the EU has effectively terminated them and only when the EU will fundamentally change its position."

The UK's Conservative government insisted that the UK could still succeed under those conditions, meaning tariffs and other barriers between the UK and the EU were its biggest trading partner. But many economists say it will be disastrous for British businesses, which are already reeling from massive economic hits from the coronavirus epidemic.

"As planned, our negotiating team will attend London next week and intensify these negotiations," he said. Asked to comment on Johnson's no-deal statement, a senior EU diplomat said: "Many EU leaders said the same thing in the debate last night."

However, an EU diplomat said that Johnson did not specifically say that Britain was leaving the negotiating table. "So, it's all just rhetoric. They did not say they would keep talking. So, they will," the diplomat said.

EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier offered to return to London next week to continue negotiations, whilst each side remains deadlocked on key areas like fishing and competition regulations.

"Now it is up to the European Union. It can either fundamentally change the situation or we will leave on Australian terms, under which we will prosper," said a Johnson spokesman.

"Michelle Barnier has no point in coming to London next week if she is prepared to quickly discuss all issues supported the legal rules required for all steps in the UK." If not, there is nothing. "
