Comments by DUP press officer Sammy Wilson on Brexit negotiations with the EU

  • No deal Brexit is "probably inevitable" thanks to the "intransigence" of EU's stance
  • Says what is on offer from the EU is a far worse than a no deal outcome
  • But says that "mini agreements" could still be reached without an overall trade deal

Comments like this will only add to the negative tones for the pound as the week begins. I would expect more of this to come ahead of the EU Summit as the official negotiating stance of both sides are likely to be kept "private" until they head to the negotiating table on Wednesday.
