@BBCr4today suggesting the EU should ask for an extension to the #Brexit transition period to support #covid19uk response is a terrible politicisation of this crisis. It is for @cabinetofficeuk and @UKParliament alone to decide that

It is certainly irresponsible if @cabinetofficeuk and @BorisJohnson to have set the course for the UK to crash out without a deal at the end of 2020 and they absolutely must change domestic law and ask for an extension of the transition period. At the very least until end of 2021

If they don’t, they’ll push UK economy further down the post-covid19 economic crisis rabbit hole. Amd that would be their sole responsibility. This is a time for more international cooperation and more Europe, not less. Pushing against it for ideological reasons is irresponsibl
