Let's be honest if the French don't send Perrier, Evian, Vivre or any other of their waters it isn't the end of the World. If the Scots stop sending mineral water in support of the French it might be a bit more of a discomfort as we ramp up production of the Pennine, and Chiltern waters but we can always fall back on Peckham Spring if all else fails.
As the last 4 years have shown if we show any "remainer" style weakness the EU will drive a coach and horses through it, especially the French who see us as a competitor rather than a neighbour.
Giving EU ambassador recognition is a waste of time and duplicitous because Barnier is still in post hence getting Lord Frost back and giving him a cabinet role.
