Donald Tusk: Johnson May Make Brexit More Exciting, But We Won't Budge


THE GUARDIAN: EU chief says member states are united in rejecting further talks on the withdrawal deal

Brexit may become “even more exciting” when Boris Johnson is in Downing Street but the deal will not change, Donald Tusk has said, as the EU readied itself for a new British prime minister.
