Abstract

At her meetings in Brussels this week, Theresa May and the European Commission agreed to 'accelerate' the stalled Brexit negotiations. But, as John Ryan writes, after a bruising election result, Angela Merkel will be preoccupied with coalition talks until Christmas. The UK should not expect major concessions from Germany, which knows its principal interest is in preserving the Single Market.
