News by press release

Nearly back to old Guardina habits today with a Barnier press statement appearing as news, although it is actually attributed this time, which makes a change. Some detail is given to yet another solemn Barnier warning, mostly about their last straw, the Irish border. May's complaint that excluding the UK from European security arrangements would cost lives was also mentioned right at the end (and given more space in a separate item), but was 'baanced' by reporting EU leaders' jeering at May's split Cabinet (not split enough to prevent the EU WIthdrawal Act though)
