Ex-UK foreign office boss calls Brexit position 'disturbing'
By EUobserver
The former head of the UK foreign office warned Tuesday of the British government's "disturbing" opening gambit in the new Brexit trade negotiations. Simon Fraser, formerly the most senior civil servant in the foreign office, said the UK government's statement was "antagonistic", "disturbing" and used "misleading language". "We should be concerned about where this is heading", he warned.
