1. It's simple: Britain has no offer for the EU how to conduct an orderly Brexit.

1. The EU can afford to lose Britain. It would be massive political loss, but only a small economic loss.

2. Britain can not afford to lose the EU. It would be a massive loss of international power and it would be a massive economic loss. Britain's very own "Operation Yellowhammer" study confirmed that a Brexit without a deal would be an economic catastrophe.

3. It's not the fault of the EU that the negotiations have stalled: The Ireland-problem needs a solution and every single proposed solution was rejected in the british parliament. The Brits don't even have a counter-proposal how THEY would like to see this problem solved.
