Brexit News: French Minister mocks UK uncertainty over EU by naming his cat "Brexit" | World | New

The French government's organization in the Brexit negotiations revealed that she had chosen the name of her pet because her cat meowed loudly to let her out every morning, but did not go out when she opened the door.

Ms. Loiseau told the Sunday Diary: "He wakes me up every morning meowing death to want to go out.

"But when I open the door, he stays motionless, undecided, then looks at me when I put him out."

The chief negotiator of the European Union for Brexit, Michel Barnier, said today that an extension of Article 50 by the end of March no later than the end of March. It would make sense if it increased the chances of reaching an agreement.

At a press conference, he said: "Does an extension increase the chances of ratification of the withdrawal agreement? What would be the goal and the result?

"How can we make sure that at the end of a possible extension, we are no longer in the same situation as today?

"If Theresa May asks for an extension before the European Council on Thursday, it will be up to the 27 leaders to badess the reason and the utility.

"EU leaders will need a concrete plan from the UK to make an informed decision."

French President Emmanuel Macron hinted that he could block the Brexit deadline if the UK had no valid reason to justify it.

Ms. Loiseau has also been rigorous in her negotiations on Brexit in the past.

This includes destroying the ideas of the UK and warning against the risks of a Brexit without agreement.

In October, she even suggested not negotiating Brexit as a better option than Ms May's proposals for future relations between the UK and the EU.

Mrs. Loiseau then mocked the British Prime Minister with her own sentence: "No agreement is better than a bad deal."

She will also be the first candidate for Macron's party in the European Parliament elections, which will start on 23 May.

The minister will face Marine Le Pen, who will lead a far right program.

Meanwhile, British MPs could go to the House of Commons this week to vote for the third time on May's agreement, provided it has fundamentally changed.
