# NOBREXITDE­AL

PM Boris Johnson said the EU summit seemed to have ruled out a Canada- style deal, based on free trade, for the UK.

@ Britishalb­a wrote: “Freedom! The European Union has refused to recognise that the UK must be able to control its own laws and fishing waters. They leave us no choice but to walk away from the talks. Its over.”

@ concannon added: “People who are happy about this: 1) Millionair­e hedge- fund managers 2) Russia 3) Drooling simpletons who think they're somehow going to be better off when the economy falls off a cliff next January.”

@ Markvipond wrote: “Boris gave the EU the chance to respond realistica­lly yesterday. They've failed to step up to the mark. We can only go so far down the path of the EU'S unreasonab­le demands and failure to negotiate in good faith. Time to prepare for no deal.” @ nosheepzon­e wrote: “Useless @ Borisjohns­on is a failure. Worse, he has betrayed the country, which makes him a traitor. We had a great deal EU membership.” @ CHCDN22 tweeted: “A bit of EU bashing whilst convenient­ly forgetting that this deal that no selfrespec­ting sovereign nation should ever go for is the same ‘ oven ready’ deal he was elected on.”

@ Sarahcalve­rt wrote: “There is no mandate for this. ‘ No deal’ was never mentioned by the Leave campaign. We were promised a deal time and again and they are delivering nothing. The only time

' no- deal is better than a bad deal' was written in a manifesto May lost her majority. Enough of the gaslightin­g.”

@ shawemily wrote: “The PM reportedly promised a No Deal outcome to his hedge fund backers and cronies ages ago, so we shouldn't be surprised.”

@ moosh07 wrot: “Funny that - because the EU have said that they're committed to talks until the end of the month, so it's you that's pulled the plug, not the EU.” @ markberry added: “There is only one appropriat­e outcome, he and his team should resign!”
