Businesses should not just be looking to blame the UK government over the stalling Brexit talks, Brussels has an even larger share of the blame to shoulder.

Businesses having a go at Theresa May over the lack of progress in the Brexit negotiations won't help anything says the Sun, what they should be doing is taking an angry pop at the European Union.

"Rather than ramping up Project Fear: The Sequel, bosses must demand that Brussels starts negotiating in good faith to keep trade ties with the world’s fifth largest economy." It says.

And goes on to say exactly what I've said before; that the EU appears to be more intent on preserving the structure of the EU machine than of looking after the economies of its member states and the true interests of their citizens.

And as an example, Wolfgang Munchau writing in the FT points out that the German car industry exported a huge 769,000 vehicles to the UK last year. Much more than the 494,000 it sent to the US and the 258,000 that went to China.

And with the recent Daimler-Benz profit warning coupled with an upcoming increase in Chinese tariffs on Mercedes cars imported into China from the US and the looming US/EU trade war as well as the potential huge costs from the emissions scandal, now is not the time to be forcing the UK to the cliff edge as that could be disastrous for the German car economy, he says.

And Doug Nicholls writing in the Morning Star says that the EU is now on the back foot and now that the EU Withdrawal Bill has been tidied away, we should be pressing home our advantage.

And he also pinpoints Germany as the trading Achilles heel for the EU here, saying that half of the £70 billion trade deficit the UK has with the EU is actually a trade deficit we have with Germany.

The EU is now collapsing, he says, and the 30,000 lobbyists for huge corporations that really run Brussels are panicking.

He also says that paying an exit fee to the EU should be re-thought as we need the money here in the UK to rebuild our own industry and infrastructure. After all, he says, the EU will only:

"....press ahead with the single EU army, dump more foodstuffs in Africa to thwart domestic agriculture and exacerbate famines, pay off the spectacular salaries and pensions its over-bloated EU bureaucracy pen pushers enjoy and transport tons of unnecessary paperwork for no good reason between Strasbourg and Brussels so it can debate much ado about nothing."

And writing in Brexit Central, the Chief Economist at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Julian Jessop, asks whether the UK should in fact be attaching conditions to this so-called £39 billion Brexit Divorce Bill.

Now to Italy.

Many may be pleased to hear that the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, appears to be playing hard-ball with the EU.

But what he is actually arguing for in reality means more Brussels.

It transpires that, according to the political commentator Guido Fawkes, Anna Soubry's Conservative Party Constituency Association Chairman, Cllr Dr John Doddy, has been sending out letters to his members asking whether they are happy with their MP.
