Comments by an unnamed EU official by Bloomberg

  • No-deal Brexit summit may happen if there is no progress
  • Says that 17-18 November is no longer definite dates for Brexit summit
  • May publish no-deal plan in January or February if needed

As mentioned here earlier in the day, there has been growing talks that the EU is looking to arrange a summit in November but it is for one leaning towards stepping up preparations of a no-deal Brexit outcome instead of focusing on advancing Brexit negotiations.

This will only add more credence to that rhetoric and will make for some nervous tones for the pound if it does start to materialise.
