UK: The Sunday Times reports that senior German and French Eurosceptics
staunchly oppose any trade deal "that would safeguard the City" amid ongoing
Brexit negotiations. "Senior Eurosceptics" issued several non-negotiable demands
ahead of UK PM Theresa May's meeting with Jean-Claude Juncker Monday. "In their
letter to the prime minister, more than 30 Eurosceptic former cabinet ministers,
business leaders and economists have demanded that May gives no money to
Brussels, and walks out of the negotiations, unless their conditions are met."
The letter also states "if the EU refuses to agree to these terms by the end of
the December council, the UK, having exhausted every avenue...should suspend its
participation in the negotiations and inform the EU that, unless they are
prepared to talk to us seriously about a future free trade arrangement, we will
revert to World Trade Organisation terms from March 30, 2019."
