UK Foreign Sec Hunt: There is a real risk of a messy divorce

After meeting his Austrian counterpart Karin Kneissl in Vienna, Jeremy Hunt, Britain's new foreign secretary, voiced his concerns over a no-deal Brexit via Twitter.

"As I said in Vienna this morning, we want the EU to prosper but there is a real risk of a messy divorce which would be a geostrategic mistake. Let’s have a pragmatic solution to allow the deep and special friendship between UK and EU to continue," Hunt said. He delivered a similar message in Paris yesterday as he argued that the possibility of a no-deal was increasing by the day.
