Maybe I'm missing something, but I really can't see what the pressure is on the EU to do a deal. If there's no deal then as far as the EU's concerned it's a minor hiccup. As far as the UK's concerned, it's a total and utter shitstorm. I'm failing to see why it isn't in the EU's interests to walk away from the negotiations, let the UK descend into a total clusterfuck of tariffs and border checks, and then come back in 6 months or so saying 'So, how much more of this do you want?' OK, you'd have to buy off the French fishermen in the interim, but that's buttons in the great grand scheme of things.
