Prime Minister Theresa May will outline her wishes for Britain's post-Brexit ties with the European Union next week after winning support from key ministers, although European Council President Donald Tusk on Friday called the ideas floated so far "pure illusion".
To avoid encouraging others in the EU who might think leaving is a good idea, I often get the impression that the EU leadership is far more willing to be harsh with Britain out of anger over their Brexit vote than they are willing to be harsh with Russia over their invasion of Ukraine.
