Percy, percy, that was a quote from the link provided. Dating from september 2nd. At that time the 8th round was coming up.
But thanks for putting in your twopence.

Thank you for your own valuable contribution there.
But - if these "tunnel talks" are so important that they will work through the weekend, perhaps you would explain why Mr Barnier only arrived here at gone 5:30p.m.?
He doesn't seem to be in any great rush to get "negotiating" despite his very public insistences.

As for the number of "rounds of negotiations" well, it looks like is more that is disingenuous.
Unless you really think there have been just eight "rounds", "sessions" or whatever else you want to call them since we put forward Article 50?

Or is it an even more disingenuous count by using sessions only from this year and discounting all other "negotiations"?

With only 42 days left, this is to be expected. It might be true but...

The Commission’s Brexit spokesman had no comment on Thursday.
... surprisingly.

They have a battle now not just with the UK but with the other 27 member states. The bluff is about to be called so let's see just how prepared the EU is for a no deal Brexit ....

I said as much on Twitter - it's a ruse to extend the negotiating period. Can't they get a replacement for this `negotiator` or at least continue any discussions, waste of time though they may be, via Zoom?
