European Council president Donald Tusk speaking in France - 16 January 2018

  • EU27 are united in Brexit negotiations
  • Hardest part of Brexit talks lie ahead
  • UK can have a "change of heart" on Brexit
  • Still open to UK staying in the EU

The usual Brexit rhetoric from the EU side of things. No new developments or anything like that. Not sure about his united front comment though, time will tell on how "strong" that unity will be.

EUR/GBP now at 0.8880, a little lower on the day but that's mostly from a drop in the EUR earlier on German news here.
