The deal struck between Britain and the EU over Brexit yesterday is a”lose-lose” situation and only a piece of “damage control”, according to Donald Tusk.
Speaking in Brussels on this morning after the release late on Wednesday of the Brexit agreement Donald Tusk told reporters: “I took good note of Prime Minister May’s statement yesterday.
“Of course I don’t share the prime minister’s enthusiasm about Brexit as such. Since the very beginning we have had no doubt that Brexit is a lose-lose situation and that our negotiations are only about damage control.”

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
