Varadkar: EU can’t help UK any more

Europe cannot help the British government any more and has been “as flexible” as it can be on Brexit, according to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

British prime minister Theresa May is being pressured to come up with concrete proposals to end the deadlock around Brexit before EU leaders meet again.

Mr Varadkar cast doubt on whether sufficient progress will be made in time for the next meeting of leaders in December as talks around Brexit were described as having “some way to go” yesterday.
