If the prime minister's team and the government machine of a small country can't agree happily on arrangements for a press conference, then it doesn't exactly feel like anyone is in the mood to edge a little bit closer to a Brexit deal.
"Podiumgate", as it has inevitably been labelled, immediately gave a pantomime distraction - complete with a booing crowd - to Monday's developments in the bigger Brexit story.
It's no secret that the Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel held the views that he was so happy to express.
He has gladly - and candidly - expressed on many occasions his sadness that the UK voted to leave, and his frustration with how UK governments have handled it so far.
But if what happened was an expression of the state of diplomacy between the UK and EU member states, then don't hold your breath for a breakthrough in understanding between the two sides that could lead us all to a new version of a Brexit deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49722762

What a farce to behold, I hear that the Google search engine crashed due to the huge demand from people trying to find out who Bettel is and where Luxembourg is or if it even exists
