According to his spokesman, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reiterated at a cabinet meeting that his position on negotiation with EU hasn’t changed. That is, he wanted a deal but not at “the cost of our core principles around sovereignty and control over our laws, borders, money and our fish”.
“We are working hard to find solutions which fully respect UK sovereignty, but it is far from certain that an agreement will prove possible and time is now very short,” the spokesman added.
