Guy Verhofstadt (Brexit negotiator, EU) had another camera team with him (Thats actually a first - usually you go by Chatham House rules). This time its more the very obviously public facing part of the Brexit negotiations on the EU side, so more spin - more 'human interest' side of the story.

Most interesting part for me is their relationship to the press.
If you don't know how negotiations are held its an interesting learning piece as well.
The one argument, that the EU would have to set up the north irish border, if a hard brexit was triggered - we also had in this thread, turned out to be a red line for EU negotiations.
So EU would have gone to the press and told them - negotiations are finished, the british want to make us appear as if we want borders in europe. Its their making.
Thats how you repeal such a gambit. Found that interesting.
