UK-EU in Brexit pass or fail talks

The UK and EU chief negotiators are to meet today in one final attempt to reach a Brexit withdrawal dea.

Lord Frost and Michel Barnier will meet in Brussels in one final effort to bridge a number of “significant differences”.

This latest move comes after a lengthy telephone conversation between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen failed to reach a compromise. After that conversation they issued a joint statement saying that fishing rights, competition rules and how any deal would be enforced were still causing problems.
