UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said Brexit negotiations with EU were still ongoing with issues to be resolved. At the same time, discussions also continued with Conservative and Northern Ireland’s DUP MPs.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar also said that “we are making progress but there are issues yet to be resolved and hopefully that can be done today.” “But if it’s not, there is still more time. October 31 is still a few weeks away and there is the possibility of an additional summit before that if we need one”.
EU chief Brexit negotiator delayed the briefing to EU leaders to 1500GMT today, from 1200GMT.
