LONDON, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Britain faces an increased risk of leaving the European Union (EU) in 2019 with no deal Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Blueberry UK Sale , the Labour Party's Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer warned Thursday.
Starmer, Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, made his comment after talks in Brussels between the British government and the EU concluded with little progress made after days of negotiations.
Starmer said: "After three rounds of negotiations, real progress should have been made and, in principle, agreements reached on all phase one issues. Instead Hydro Flask Coffee 20 Oz Coffee Cobalt Blue UK Sale , the two sides appear to be getting further apart."
"The risk of not reaching the October deadline to move on to the main negotiations is now very real; which increases the risk of Britain leaving with no deal in March 2019. No deal would be the worst possible outcome for the British people."
Starmer called on both sides to redouble efforts and work together to reach a strong Article 50 deal and a close future partnership.
"If more negotiating sessions need to be added between now and the October deadline, they should be. Substantive progress and clear outcomes are urgently needed," he said.
Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at the School of Politics and Economics of King's College London, told Xinhua: "The Brexit talks have reached something of an impasse. The EU has made clear it wants to resolve the details of the UK's withdrawal, the Article 50 issues of citizens' rights Hydro Flask Coffee 20 Oz Coffee Black UK Sale , financial obligations, and the Northern Irish border, before discussing the future UK-EU trade relationship."
The UK has made equally clear it wants to discuss trade, as well as possible transitional arrangements, now.
"What we have now is a game of chicken. Who will blink first? Both sides stand to lose from a disorderly or chaotic Brexit, but the UK has a lot more to lose. Our research shows a chaotic Brexit would be disastrous for the UK. In addition Hydro Flask Hydration 18 Oz Standard Mouth Lemon Yellow UK Sale , to the extent that this uncertainty means that some business will relocate from the UK to the continent, some EU countries or sectors may gain from delay."
Portes believes that some face-saving compromise is likely, but meanwhile, a period of stalemate is quite possible.
"This will result in some economic damage to the UK, in terms of lost business or investment. If it's only a few months, this should be relatively manageable Hydro Flask Hydration 21 Oz Standard Mouth Cobalt Blue UK Sale , but if prolonged into next year, the impact could become quite severe," he added.
Member of Parliament (MP) Tom Brake, Brexit spokesman for the minority Liberal Democrats, said after the talks: "The lack of progress shows why we need to give people a chance to exit from Brexit."
He added: "The government is stuck in a Brexit quagmire of its own making, and risks taking the country down with it. Five months on since Article 50 was triggered Hydro Flask Hydration 21 Oz Standard Mouth Black UK Sale , progress in these talks has been almost non-existent."
Brake accused the ruling Conservatives of remaining hostages of their own hard-line Brexiteers while the EU continues to show an overly rigid approach.
"At this rate, Britain is headed for a disastrous Brexit. It shows why we need to give people a chance to exit from Brexit through a vote on the final deal," said Brake.

SHANGHAI Hydro Flask Hydration 24 Oz Standard Mouth White UK Sale , Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- The female models in revealing dresses who stole the spotlight at past car shows may not appear at this year's Shanghai Automotive Exhibition (SAE).
Yang Xueliang, director of public relations for Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd, said on his microblog on Friday that he was informed by the organizing committee of the SAE that "auto show models are to be banned this year."
"It is best to cancel the performances, so as to let visitors enjoy a quiet exhibition," he said.
Xinhua received a statement from the organizing committee that said that the proposed ban is not a final decision. "We are soliciting public opinion to improve the exhibition Hydro Flask Hydration 21 Oz Standard Mouth W/ Sport Cap Olive Green UK Sale ," it said. "We haven't ruled out the possibility of banning auto show girls."
The Shanghai Automotive Exhibition will kick off on April 22 this year.
The organizing committee didn't give the reason it is considering canceling the models, but there has been speculation by Chinese media that the organizers are facing mounting security pressure.
A stampede at Shanghai's historic riverfront walk that killed 36 people during New Year's Eve celebrations cast a shadow over urban management and emergency response in China's crowded cities.
After the tragedy, Beijing authorities tightened supervision on sales promotions in shops and supermarkets, while the Shanghai government announced that mass gatherings and activities will face stricter registration procedures and will be canceled if they violate safety rules.
Some others speculate the move comes out of moral concern, after Chinese censors cropped scenes showing revealing costumes from the historical TV drama "The Empress of China."
