BREXIT CHAOS: May ‘not hopeful’ of backstop breakthrough – delay or no deal MORE LIKELY express.co.uk
THE UK's Brexit future has been thrown into chaos after it emerged Downing Street is not expecting last-ditch talks in Brussels to produce a breakthrough, making the option of a delay or crashing out of the EU with no deal more likely. Negotiations in the Belgian capital last night saw Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay and Attorney General Geoffrey Cox attempt to secure additional assurances on the Irish backstop. But after a four-hour meeting, UK and EU negotiators left empty handed. And despite Mr Cox earlier expressing hope that a deal could be done, the Prime Minister was not hopeful they would succeed, Bloomberg reports.
