The EU don't appear to be 'targeting' negotiations. They seem to be
sticking to what they said they would do when the UK talked about having a
referendum. It must have come as quite a surprise to the 'EU needs us more
than we need them' brigade. Who told us they would roll over and give us
anything we wanted.
Basically, to date, that gamble has failed.
