The argument is that they do this through bullying rather than any suggestion of compromise. Juncker was always going to make Britain's exit as painful as he possibly could if only to dissuade other countries from following suit. Lapavitsas is right. This isn't the EU acting from a position of strength, but one of fragility. That's why I agree with him that a no deal should have been our default position from the beginning.
Another pro-Brexit view from the Left (more heavy on the economics)
