    Brexit: David Davis says the EU must compromise too

    David Davis has said the EU must be willing to give ground too if further progress in Brexit talks is to be made.

    He told the BBC the UK has "been offering some creative compromises and not always got them back", insisting that "nothing comes for nothing".

    Many EU countries want to move on in the talks because they can see how it important it is to their economies, he told political editor Laura Kuenssberg.

    But he said this needed support from 27 nations, including Germany and France.

    The EU says negotiations cannot move on to trade until questions about the UK "divorce bill", citizens' rights and Northern Ireland are resolved.

        Well I suppose he's assuming that they don't want to put themselves at any disadvantage compared to BRICS and the US by not agreeing a deal, which will impose costs on their side too (not just ours).

        But you are correct, they could and they probably would.

          UK won't be able (or would want) to have a deal with UK that could undermine their deal with EU. Same with BRICS.

                Forgive me if I find the opinions of rich people who want to stay rich as being pretty irrelevant.

                  You mean Boris, Jacob, David, Nigel, etc?

                  Yup, I agree, they are totally irrelevant and out of touch with normal people. I can't understand how they managed to trick so many into believing their lies in a referendum and a year later in an election.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
