World

The European Union never believed Boris Johnson was serious when he threatened a no deal Brexit. Britain was back at the negotiating table less than a week after the Prime Minister declared the trade talks over and said the UK would "embrace" WTO terms. The EU is used to fiery summit walkouts during tense negotiations, which traditionally happen just before a deal is done. It clears the atmosphere and rolls the pitch for concessions. In a carefully choreographed to and fro, Brussels played along with the pantomime theatrics and met British conditions to restart the talks. Mr Johnson had said that unless a trade deal was "in sight" by the October 15 EU summit, the UK should quit...
