jean—claude juncker is now in the last few days giving interviews to various european newspapers sayingy things are a bit more positive, something may well emerge in the next couple of weeks, to be fair. he put it stronger than that. what do you make of the more positive noises? we have to wait for the compromise to emerge and whatever happens theresa may will find such a huge bill to pay after brexit that makes her statement that austerity is over a laughing matter. the cuts in social contributions and so forth will continue before we reach the end of austerity. and she said tax cuts. and end of austerity. how does that figure? a senior civil servant today in one of the national newspapers has said how this switch to universal credit has totally devastated families, totally. how was she going to do this? that is why her prediction of austerity being over soon... let's think about the next couple of weeks. we have said this a few times before but we are genuinely coming into a crunch few weeks. and your sense, rachel, some positive noises from jean—claude juncker and leo va radkar sayin

we'll go back to brussels and donald tusk and jean—claude juncker. o take the floor. thank you. good afternoon. let me start with brexit. yesterday after listening to prime minister made's assessment of the state of the negotiations, the eu 27 confirmed that we want to continue the talks in a positive spirit. we have expressed a full trusted michel barnier and asked a negotiator to continue efforts to achieve agreement. i stand ready to convene a european council on brexit if and when the eu negotiator reports that decisive progress has been made. and we should be clear that for now is not enough progress has been made. there is a lot of speculation about the length of the transition period once the uk leaves the eu. let me say this, the issue of the length of the transition period was not discussed among the eu 27 leaders yesterday. but let me re call eu 27 leaders yesterday. but let me recall that in her speech in september 2017, mrs may proposed a transition period of around two years and we accepted this unanimously. therefore if the uk decided an

deal and it will be dangerous if there is not one “— will be dangerous if there is not one —— jean—claude juncker my entire money on having a deal in due time. the outline of the deal is pretty well identified. the uk would stay fully inside the customs union which would solve part of the equation and there would be regulatory checks for goods that move from great britain to northern ireland. this is a must because we need the deep regulatory alignment between northern ireland and the rest, and the republic. we know this is a hard gullit to bite for the dup and i guess this deal will not be presented before the next uk budget is passed towards the end of the month —— hard gullit pulls up but the question is, would such a deal by a majority in westminster? i don't know, within the british government. that is anyone's guess, i really don't know, but the outline is known and has been for quite awhile. 0f but the outline is known and has been for quite awhile. of course, lengthening the transition period increases the probability that by the end of the condition they would you will have a free—trade
