The big money is on the Maltese MEP Roberta Metsola to become the next President of the European Parliament and this could pave the way for the UK to try and renegotiate its position in Europe because Metsola is said to be a huge fan of Britain.

The big problem with brexit is boris. You can't have an idiot in charge of such complex negotiations.
Sometimes it seems that we forget who left who. It was Britain that left the EU, not the other way around. Historically, the EU has been demonstrably pro-Britain all along, while protecting its own interests. It was Britain that has been famously and loudly anti-EU all along, demanding to have it's cake and eat it. As if it we're in charge. Yet the impact on the EU has been minimal and barely detectable, so I wouldn't expect that there will suddenly be some gush of pro-Britain sentiment. Britain blew that opportunity long ago. And frankly, it's hard to take anything seriously coming from over there on fantasy island.
..... and perhaps talks of a better deal for all. Meanwhile a pig was seen flying over Palma this morning
As near neighbours and similar economies with close trade and cultural ties, it is in the interest of European states and the U.K. to have harmonious relationships. That situation will be good for all and I believe is one of the founding pillars of the European Union’s constitution. For relationships to improve the European political class and some others needs to respect a sovereign states democratic decision. The desires for U.K. return to the European Union is not there. And deliberate friction will not play well with U.K. population. Good relationships will return in time when all comers learn to live with Brexit.
This seems a very long way off.
