Eurosceptic British Members of European Parliament laughed off warning while officials in Brussels remained pessimistic. Britain will have a year of transitional period to seal deal with European Union and if it fails in doing so by end of 2020, both EU and United Kingdom will face a cliff edge. However, according to Leyen, it will harm Britain's interests more than it would do to European Union.
