Speaking at the EU Parliament, the EU Commission chief said that the time would come when the UK will regret its decision to leave.

He also reiterated that there would be no cherry picking and that the UK needed to 'understand' what it means to be outside the EU.

He then went on to once again use the Irish border and thus the Good Friday Agreement as a negotiating chip.

"But he warned that the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic could be a major roadblock to sealing a deal. - Reports the Daily Mail.

"Mr Juncker said the controversial Brussels legal text demanding full regulatory alignment between Northern Ireland and the EU 'should not come as a surprise' to the UK.

"He said it 'translates faithfully' the agreement reached between Theresa May and the EU in December.

"Mr Juncker said: 'The 27 member states stand firm and united when it comes to Ireland. For us this is not an Irish issue, it is a European issue'."

This reference to the Irish border being a 'European issue' was not of course well received by UK Brexit MEPs.

The EU is continuing to claim that Northern Ireland must be fully aligned with the single market, which means then that under paragraphs 49 and 50 of the joint declaration the UK would also have to be similarly aligned.

This is not what the UK voted for and as I've pointed out before, the three paragraphs 49, 50 and 51 of that document are a huge sell-out and will cause us no end of problems in the future - unless we just leave with no deal then they will not apply.

Now onto positive Brexit news, a Standard Chartered report out today, says that the UK could boost its exports to emerging economies by $16.9 billion or £12.2 billion a year post-Brexit.

The report talks about the world's richest countries, those known as the G7 - that's the UK, the USA, France, Italy, Japan, Canada and Germany, trading with the seven identified emerging markets, or E7, of Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Vietnam.

In its key findings the report says of the UK:

"UK exports to the E7 could potentially increase by US$16.9 billion to US$64.9 billion when the country leaves the EU. While the EU remains a critical trading partner, UK businesses could capitalise on export opportunities with all E7 countries."

It should be noted though, that the only country making the most of the G7 to E7 opportunity is Germany which, says the report, is the greatest G7 to E7 success story. The other EU countries in the G7 - the UK, France and Italy - should be asking themselves some serious questions here - simple questions like, does leaving it to other people to sort out our trade deals for us actually work for our own economies? I'll let you answer that!
