Following a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, European Council President Donald Tusk said that he felt cautiously optimistic about the constructive and more realistic tone from the UK following the Prime Minister's speech in Florence and today’s (26 September) discussion.

Tusk said: “This shows that the philosophy of "having a cake and eating it" is finally coming to an end, or at least I hope so. And that's good news. But of course no-one will ever tell me that Brexit is a good thing because, as I have always said, in fact Brexit is only about damage control, and I didn't change my opinion.

"As you know, we will discuss our future relations with the United Kingdom once there is so-called "sufficient progress". The two sides are working hard at it. But if you asked me and if today member states asked me, I would say there is no "sufficient progress" yet. But we will work on it.”
