Fresh Brexit talks row as U.K. asks E.U. to keep its proposals secret.

The row was sparked by a British demand that the E.U.’s negotiating team treat a long-awaited cache of documents outlining the U.K.’s latest ideas as “Her Majesty’s government property”. Whitehall told the European commission team that the three “confidential” papers should not be distributed to delegates representing the 27 other member states.

Sources in Brussels said that in response the point was made forcefully to the British negotiating team that all proposals would need to be made available for the E.U.’s capitals to analyse for talks to progress.

Unsurprisingly, the details have been leaked already. So much for the EU acting in good faith.
