Britain:The mouse who roars- as Biritain-EU start exit negotiations : "We will walk away if no deal likely in June, Johnson warns EU – by Benjamin Fox

The UK has threatened to walk away from Brexit trade talks and head towards WTO trading terms with the EU if a draft deal is not in place in June, according to the mandate published by Boris Johnson’s government on Thursday (27 February).

The mandate states that the outline of a deal should be in place at a June summit “and be capable of being rapidly finalised by September”.

“If that does not seem to be the case at the June meeting, the government will need to decide whether the UK’s attention should move away from negotiations and focus solely on continuing domestic preparations to exit the transition period in an orderly fashion,” it says.
