Before this story was published yesterday number 10 sources sent me messages saying that the idea Barnier would be coming to London on Thursday was bollocks.

Michel Barnier 'could be in London on Thursday' for Brexit talks

David Frost had told EU's chief negotiator not to come to the UK unless there was a "fundamental change" in Brussels's approach to talks.

Update. Looks like a meeting between charges d'affaires this morn . EU rep not in London. EU official : "On top of things, the UK hasn’t accredited the EU representative as an ambassador so that’s less convenient if you want to summon him."

Can you summon the EU ambassador for a dressing down if you haven't fully recognised his diplomatic status?
