Why wait until June? It's obvious the EU are not interested in a trade deal and are wasting our time. Walk away NOW!https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0227/1117850-uk-brexi...

Gove has stood up in Parliament and advised the House that unless the EU arrive at a broad outline of a trade deal the U.K. will walk away. Tick tock fighting talk, good, very good.

Alternatively they don’t want to waste any more of their time. Given that U.k. will be the ones doing self harm. EU might as well sit back & enjoy the Tory show, laugh from the sidelines;)
That's an interesting interpretation. The EU appear to have explicitly said that their concern is the UK will become 'unfairly' competitive, and the proposed agreement is designed to limit our ability to compete.That's not my definition of "self harm", and I'm not convinced being competitive is "unfair". Though there do seem to be some Europhile cheerleaders who are agreeing that the UK should agree to restrict our competitiveness out of a sense of "fairness".
