UK holds door open on extending Brexit talks deadline as PM prepares to phone EU chief

Ursula von der Leyen has said that a decision on any future negotiations will be made today

Prime Minister Boris Johnson with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen earlier this week. 

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has refused to close the door on the possibility of the trade talks with the European Union continuing past the Sunday deadline.

The minister said “never say never” and highlighted that negotiations with Brussels have a tendency to “drag and drift”.
