Rogers accused the European Union of failing to think through the strategic consequences of its relationship with the U.K. He added that E.U. politicians have long insisted that the U.K. must make up its mind. That what kind of post-Brexit relationship it wants when E.U. should also have thought about collective preference about the relationship which Hugely matters to them.
