LONDON - The European Union is hoping to seal a Brexit trade deal by allowing Boris Johnson to claim he was the victor in the negotiations, according to Bloomberg.
EU officials and diplomats from Europe’s biggest capitals say they are relaxed about London’s recent posturing, as they feel it is necessary for Johnson to be able to sell a compromise to the pro-Brexit camp at home.
The plan in Brussels, according to Bloomberg, is to let Boris Johnson make a stand to win the confidence of his MPs. The deal, when it comes, will then find more favour in Westminster - or so the theory goes.
