David Davis to demand more 'flexibility' from Brussels in Brexit negotiations

Brexit Secretary David Davis is heading for a Brussels showdown, with a demand for the European Commission to be more "flexible" in negotiations on the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

With the third round of formal talks beginning on Bank Holiday Monday in the Belgian capital, Mr Davis is pushing for EU negotiator Michel Barnier to be less rigid in his refusal to discuss the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and Europe.
