Charles Grant, the director of the Centre for European Reform, tweeted that Rogers’ resignation meant the UK had lost one of its most experienced EU negotiators at a crucial juncture.

“The EU 27 will take Rogers’ resignation as a sign that May’s government prefers to placate hardline sceptics than keep its top EU expert,” Grant said.
