European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said EU is “ready to work until the last minute for a good agreement” with UK for post Brexit relationship. Though he emphasized, “it has to be a fair agreement for both sides – we are not going to sign an agreement at any cost.”
UK Minister for the Cabinet Office Michael Gove told EU in the weekend that “the ball is in your court” for making a deal. He insisted that UK will be “flexing every muscle to be match fit for January 1” and that the Government will not be “squeezed or sandbagged into acquiescing to anyone else’s agenda”.
