Flagging trade talks have seen little progress.

Michel Barnier has schooled Brexiteer MP Mark Francois on the Withdrawal Agreement that he and his European Research Group (ERG) colleagues voted for, and told him that him there was no “added value” in leaving the EU.

Michel Barnier also accused Boris Johnson’s government of rowing back on commitments made in writing by Britain at the point before exit.

Prime Minister will not abide by political declaration following new election mandate.

As the EU and UK continue to prepare for the trade negotiations, there are clear signs that all is not well when it comes to implementing the divorce part of Brexit, in particular the Irish Protocol.

The Government has been accused of trying to play the “blame game” over a no-deal Brexit, as Michael Gove claimed that the EU was refusing to negotiate with Britain.

Germany lined up behind other EU states and official to warn that a new UK prime minister will not be able to renegotiate the Brexit withdrawal agreement struck between the EU and Theresa May.

Political declaration but not withdrawal agreement could be re-opened, Michel Barnier says.
