Dismal Brexit spat has crossed a line for us all

It’s disquieting to watch the posturing in recent days between Brussels and Westminster, the positions being drawn, the promises being made.

It is scarcely credible that after four decades of a partnership, the EU and the UK institutions understand each other so little.

It seems to me that, from the perspective of many in leadership positions in the UK, the Brexit decision is seen as a problem for Brussels to solve.
