'EU is LOSING PATIENCE!' Warning as no-deal Brexit growing ever more LIKELY by the day

The EU is losing patience with the UK as skirmishes within Theresa May’s government continue to destabilise Brexit talks, Brussels decision-making process expert Agata Gostynska-Jakubowska has warned. The Centre for European Reform senior researcher warned the risks of a no deal Brexit "are rising" as the British Government remains divided over its plans for the future.

Brexit supporters in Parliament rejected Theresa May's latest proposals for a future trading arrangement with the European Union days after the last meeting with the EU Council before the negotiation's deadline in October.

Ms Gostynska-Jakubowska told CNBC: "I would probably risk saying that the EU might be already losing its patience with the UK, with the British Government actually negotiating with itself and the Chequers meeting as a sign of that.

"A no deal scenario and the chances for a no deal scenario are rising."

Ms Gostynska-Jakubowska also said the latest EU Council meeting showed European leaders remained confident about their decision to have EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier represent the interests of the whole bloc together.

She continued: "I would say the EU leaders have actually delegated Brexit negotiations to the European Commission, to Michel Barnier so he does a great job representing them.

"I’m not really sure whether Theresa May’s visit to Berlin or to other member states will be successful because, again, David Davis or Olly Robbins need to come to the negotiating table and discuss it with Michel Barnier."
