EU 27 will not ‘sell us down the river’, says McEntee

The Minister for European Affairs has dismissed the suggestion that other EU countries will “sell us down the river” in Brexit negotiations.

With talks on the border in deadlock, the possibility of a hard Brexit or no deal at all has increased, but Helen McEntee said the EU 27 will keep their promise to avoid a hard border at all costs.

It comes as Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) revealed that “significant planning” is underway to ensure that medicines and supplies will be available if the UK leaves the EU without a trade deal.
