Donald Tusk

One year on from the referendum, are you happy with the havoc you’ve wreaked? If not, there’s still time. Donald Tusk isn’t the only dreamer.

European Council president called for “discretion, moderation, mutual respect”. Brexiters called him “patronising” and “sexist”.

UK wants a transitional deal to minimise post-Brexit disruption. But Theresa May is going about it the wrong way.

Attacking EU bureaucrats may win PM plaudits in Brexit UK press, but shows disregard for need to win friends abroad.

From “blackmail” to Gibraltar, papers seem intent on stoking anti-EU animosity while politicians on both sides talk of goodwill.

No political bombshells have been dropped since Theresa May triggered Article 50. But a few comments are already shifting the debate.

By failing to trigger talks this week, PM has given EU reason to wait until June to set its negotiating mandate. She could run out of time.
