EU rounds on Theresa May over Brexit negotiations

The mood of Brexit negotiations appear to have soured after reports in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitun, that European commission president Jean-Claude Juncker left a dinner at 10 Downing Street last week, 10 times more sceptical than he had been. British PM Theresa May dismissed the reports as Brussels gossip.

So is this merely tough talk from Europe, or does Theresa May really lack understanding of the complexity of the negotiations ahead of her?

Dan Damon spoke to James Forsyth, political editor of the Conservative magazine the Spectator, and Radek Sikorski, former Polish foreign minister and now a senior fellow at Harvard University.
