“We are not yet there in terms of achieving sufficient progress,” EU’s negotiator Michel Barnier says pic.twitter.com/PQ6Zu0Pp0I

Barnier top lines:

• Welcomes “new dynamic” of May’s Florence speech
• Says “we have had a constructive week”, “useful”
• But… “we are not yet there in terms of sufficient progress”
• It may take “weeks or maybe even months” before EU will agree to trade talks
• Barnier still insisting ECJ must have “indispensable” role in post-Brexit disputes with EU citizens

A warmer Barnier today, but still tediously intransigent…
