Britain should ask for an extension to its post-Brexit transition period to ease uncertainty at a time when the world economy is being hammered by the coronavirus pandemic, the head of the International Monetary Fund said.

“It is tough as it is. Let’s not make it any tougher,” Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF’s managing director, told BBC radio in comments broadcast on Thursday.

“My advice would be to seek ways in which this element of uncertainty is reduced in the interests of everybody, of the UK, of the EU, the whole world.”

Why when the small cold islanders have sovereignly determined?

NO WE WANT THEM OUT

Idiots. Why don't they say they want it sorted by November. Brexit types would instictivly do opposite and ask for extension. Never learn do they. eu negotiators

Dear IMF boss; feck off.

That's a no from me, how many years have we waited for this ?

There are too many Brexit Bigots to consider what may be best for their country to consider a delay. The UK is guaranteed a recession because of Covid, Brexit will add another layer to that.

Out means out!

Here we go again. The UK should pull its head out of its hole. Yeah I voted remain and stand by it.

Of cooouuurse!

Fuk off, it has absolutely nothing to do with you, you new world order, 1 world government stooge.

Ex EU Commissioner IMF boss....

Boris would never do this. He'd rather die in a ditch.

Haaaaa..... Europe are so sick and tired of them, they want us out ASAP. We have wasted enough of their time and resources with our embarrassing attention seeking and have burned ALL our bridges.

- IMF would say that. No, get Brexit finished.

Errrr no.
