Boris & Von der Leyen meet???

Von der Leyen met Boris in No 10 today leaving Barmier in Brussels
supposedly with Frosty??
The plot thickens?
Is she trying to charm him into a concession o some sort?
Why did she need to come in person, while Frosty and Barmier are
tied up in Brussels??
Is Barmy being sidelined?
Sounds like aDick Barton story dont it?

Donkeyman! 👍😁👍

Did she? I thought they were going to have a Zoom conference call. No matter, fingers crossed Boris told her what for.

Hi

It was a video call.

As usual one side says one thing, the other something else.

It also depends on your media source.

Express a huge win for Boris. Guardian a disaster.

I have given up trying to work out what is happening.

If I understood it correctly, the talks today were PRIVATE. To me that means no one else was there in the rooms with them (except probably Dominic on our side and someone on her's) so no reporters involved. The question is, WTF has leaked the info or, is it just the journos trying to make up some "news" to justify their salaries?

Boris had announced that he would call Van der Leyen.
They issued a joint statement afterwards.
The joint statement said: “The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, spoke today about the state of play in the negotiations on the future relationship between the UK and the EU.
They agreed on the importance of finding an agreement, if at all possible, as a strong basis for a strategic EU-UK relationship in future.
*“They endorsed the assessment of both chief negotiators that progress had been made in recent weeks but that significant gaps remained, notably but not only in the areas of fisheries, the level playing field, and governance.
They instructed their chief negotiators to work intensively in order to try to bridge those gaps.

*“They agreed to speak on a regular basis on this issue.”
