France warns UK it has to leave EU by 31 October

France has warned the UK it must leave the European Union by 31 October as it will not tolerate repeated extensions of the Brexit deadline.

“We must not get sucked into repeated extensions, that’s for sure,” a French presidential adviser said on Friday. “Our message is clear: a solution must have been found by October 31.”

A similar warning was made in April by Germany.  Germany’s foreign minister had warned London that there will be no Brexit extension beyond October.

Heiko Maas had told the Financial Times in an interview. “You cannot drag out Brexit for a decade.” sending out the strongest signal yet that Berlin’s patience with the UK’s deadlocked political system is starting to wear out. “They will have to decide what they want by October.”
