BRUSSELS - A ‘no-deal’ Brexit makes no sense and is the worst possible Brexit outcome, European Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan said on Monday. Asked about comments made by some in the British Conservative Party, such as the party’s leader in the House of Commons, that a no-deal Brexit would be “not nearly as grim” as many people think, Irishman Hogan replied:
“Despite the madness of Brexit, I still believe that common sense might prevail. I hope it does. No deal makes no sense. It’s simply crazy. There’s too much at stake.” “There’s no such thing as a good outcome in relation to Brexit, but I believe that a no-deal Brexit is the worst of all outcomes.”

Barnier says chaotic Brexit becomes ever more likelyBRUSSELS (AP) — EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier says that Britain's exit from the European Union without a deal 'becomes day after day more likely' after the U.K. parliament again rejected alternatives to the government's unpopular divorce deal. Despite the downbeat assessment, Barnier did say that 'we can still hope to avoid it' through intensive work in London ahead of an April 10 summit. A no-deal Brexit could come as soon two days after that. Despite the difficulties of a chaotic exit, 'the EU will be able to manage,' Barnier said, although he warned that 'not everything will be smooth.'
