EU leaders
• No formal talks until Article 50 is

before defending German exportsThere must be a threat,
there must be a risk,

There will be no downside
to Brexit, only a
considerable upside.
David Davis (Minister for Exiting the EU)
The UK has a golden
opportunity to forge a
new role for ourselves in
the world, one which puts
the British people first.
Liam Fox (International Trade Secretary)
/ Brexit
The EU must change
fast.
I refuse to imagine a Europe where lorries and
hedge funds are free to cross borders but
citizens are not.
A Spanish flag on the
Rock of Gibraltar is
much closer.
It will be impossible
to give to British
people more rights
than other people
outside the EU.
Most of my colleagues want a fair deal for both
the UK and Europe, but it has to be a deal that
is inferior to membership, so you can't have the
cake and eat it.
Theresa May wants a hard
Brexit? The negotiation will
be hard.
Joseph Muscat (PM of Malta)
François Hollande
Martin Schulz (President of the European Parliament)
Bohuslav Sobotka (Czech PM)
José Margallo (Spanish Foreign Minister) Matteo Renzi
