Boris Johnson urges EU to get on with 'serious' negotiations on trade

Boris Johnson urged the European Union to "get on" with beginning "serious" Brexit negotiations on trade, as Theresa May prepared for a fresh push to break the deadlock in a crunch meeting with Brussels chiefs.

The Foreign Secretary stressed Britain's "very fair" offer on EU citizens' post-Brexit rights but did not mention any other withdrawal issues, such as money, which Brussels wants more progress on before moving on to trade talks.
