Well, merkel is done with you too.
The UK will have to “live with the consequences” of Boris Johnson ditching Theresa May’s plan to maintain close economic ties with the EU after Brexit,*Angela Merkel*has said, hardening her tone over the prospect of a no-deal scenario at the end of the year.
After more than three years in which the German chancellor repeatedly emphasised her openness to a deal that would maintain the UK’s current flows of trade with the bloc, she suggested the door leading to such a compromise had now closed.
Speaking days before Germany takes over the EU rotating presidency, Merkel made clear that her priority was instead to push through a*pandemic rescue plan*to stop Europe’s economy sliding into the worst slump since the 1930s.
To put it more precise, you're yesterdays news.
