EU negotiator Maros Sefcovic has said it is "high time we got Brexit done" and accused the UK of trying to hold talks with "a gun on the table".
The European Commission Vice President branded Boris Johnson's plan to rip up his own Brexit deal "illegal" and said the proposed legislation had set talks back "two years".
Mr Sefcovic said the war in Ukraine showed the UK and EU are "natural allies" but argued that the British Government's demands were "unrealistic and unfair".
