Merkel sharing a presser with Renzi and Hollande still 27 June 2016

  • I can just say we don't want an impasse

Is that like a tango but as a threesome ? Last Tango in Berlin ?

While Ryan's out collecting the kids and feeding them ( not sure to who or what. He didn't say!) I'm stepping back up to cover.

Merkel:

  • I can't say anything on the timeframe for UK starting negotiations or how long negotiations will take

Angie was earlier quoted as saying that a settlement with the UK doesn't have to be acrimonious. Not something all her government would agree on.

Renzi:

  • it'd crucial that opinion of UK public be respected after referendum

Who by ? Us or the rest of Europe? Fine line to tread either way.

Hollande:

  • Europe is strong
  • has the ECB to fight uncertainty

He's kidding right? Please tell me is.
