In a desperate letter from more than two dozen leading figures in Germany, officials say they want the UK to reverse its Brexit decision. Citing the nation’s love of tea and drinking ale after work, the letter concludes: “Britons should know: from the bottom of our hearts, we want them to stay.” The letter, published by The Times, has been signed by a host of influential politicians, including Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, the frontrunner to become the new leader of Germany.
It comes as a major U-turn after Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, said there would be “no renegotiation” in a new deal between the EU and the UK earlier this week.
The letter was signed by the likes of the chief executive of Airbus and the president of the Federation of German Industries and said: “Without your great nation, this continent would not be what it is today: a community defined by freedom and prosperity.
“Should Britain wish to leave the European Union for good, it will always have friends in Germany and Europe.
“But Britons should equally know that we believe that no choice is irreversible.
