Tusk urges Britain to U-turn on Brexit

UNELECTED EU president Donald Tusk urged Britain to make a U-turn on Brexit yesterday.

Addressing MEPs in Strasbourg, Mr Tusk said: “If the UK government sticks to its decision to leave, Brexit will become a reality — with all its negative consequences — in March next year unless there is a change of heart among our British friends.”

He insisted that the EU had not had a “change of heart” over Brexit, telling the British: “Our hearts are still open to you.”
