EU’s Barnier: Too early to assess consequences of UK rejection of Brexit deal

EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier was out on the wires in the last hour, saying that the overnight UK vote shows that political conditions are not ready in London.

It is too early to assess the consequences of UK rejection of Brexit deal and we still need to look for a way forward on Brexit, Barnier added further.

Additional quotes:

   •  Backstop must remain and be credible in any Brexit deal.
   •  Britain must indicate future steps very clearly. 
   •  Orderly Brexit remains absolute priority in coming weeks. 
   •  EU fearing more than ever over the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.
