No smoke without fire they say.

Greg posted on the latest rumours here earlier. Not the first and won't be the last.

EU won't commence trade talks until exit agreement and divorce bill amount decided. UK won't agree settlement amount until the end. Result? An impasse that is unlikely to be resolved any time soon despite Barnier's 2 week deadline he gave last week.

So yes folks you know what's coming next eh?
