British hopes of Brexit deal set back as Barnier says not sufficient progress
The EU’s chief negotiator has rejected British claims of a Brexit breakthrough, warning that a deal is not close despite ongoing London hopes of an agreement by the end of the month.
Michel Barnier said that he does not believe enough progress has been made to plan for a November 17 EU leaders meeting or November 22 special EU summit which would be key to any pre-December deal.
