Le Soir: Tusk: "We miss you already."


Le Soir offers a view from Brussels, after the President of the European Council Donald Tusk received Theresa May's notification to trigger Article 50.

Tusk is quoted saying at a press conference that there was no reason to pretend it were a happy day, neither in Brussels nor in London, and that for both sides there was nothing to win in the process. He finished by adding: "We miss you already".
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage, titled in the piece as the 'architect of Brexit' is quoted saying it was the EU that would not recover and that the UK were only the first to go. The article also mentions a YouGov poll released on Wednesday. According to the survey, 44% of British respondents do not regret Brexit, versus 43% who regret it, while only 21% want the government to back down from their divorce plans.
