Brexit 'war cabinet' meets to thrash out withdrawal agenda

British cabinet heavyweights are using a marathon "away day" meeting to try and agree a unified Brexit stance following recent Tory clashes on how to move forward.

Theresa May is heading the "Brexit war cabinet" gathering at the British Prime Minister's country residence of Chequers in a bid to get consensus ahead of delivering a keynote speech intended to lay out Britain's "end state" objectives regarding leaving the EU.
