Did Angela Merkel really offer a big Brexit concession?

Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, another think-tank, said there was a rich history of UK politicians and pundits drawing the wrong conclusions from remarks made by the German chancellor.“The British like to assume that Germany will solve their problems. ...Mr Grant said UK misunderstanding of Ms Merkel was partly “because the British Eurosceptic class is very ignorant about the EU and how it works and what drives it. So they clutch at straws. They mistake Merkel because her tone is polite and moderate.”
