You know what they say about divorces, the only ones who really get rich are the lawyers.

  • EU would insist on a full divorce from UK before negotiating any future relationship (We won't be married but we're open to having sex again)

  • There's no appetite to extend withdrawal talks beyond 2 year limit (let's not have extensive arguments on who gets the car and who gets the house)

  • Any post Brexit trade pacts would be negotiated once the UK was an external third country (once we get the rings back we'll talk)

Reuters have heard from EU sources regarding the possibility of a UK exit.
