Hundreds voice dismay at Sunak and Starmer, accusing them of misreading UK attitudes towards Europe.
David Davis told me ... that the "row of the summer" would be ... the EU's desire to negotiate money we owe, the rights of migrants and Ireland's borders before talking about a trade deal. / Today, the Brexit secretary became the pussycat of the summer - in the eyes of Brussels - as he declared his pleasure that Brexit negotiations would indeed be in the sequence desired by the rest of the EU.
