Theresa May is talking to #Merkel today, tomorrow she'll be at #MSC2018. I had a look at #Brexit coverage in Germany this week in preparation.

Boris Johnson's speech wasn't very well received in Germany. @welt called it: Boris Johnson's dishonest message of love on Valentine's Day /2

Also not excited: @handelsblatt

"He fabulated too much about organic carrots and waterslide testers to be perceived as a serious politican." Ouch. /3

Definitely not amused: @DeutscheWelle

"In the end, all that is left from the grandmaster of empty promises is idle talk. Everything will be fine? You shouldn't believe that if Boris Johnson is the messenger." /4

Then we have the FAZ @faznet commenting on the state of #Brexit #BrexitShambles

"Britain has no plan for Brexit." /5

As an additional service, they explain how that works with international free trade.

"The key to free trade in the modern world is relinquishing part of one's autonomy and the will to cooperate." /6

And last but not least is the statement of the head of the BDI, German's industry association, Joachim Lang.

"Obviously, the British government has lost all sense of time." /end
