Brexit

EU negotiator Barnier en route to London for Friday evening Brexit talks

The UK’s transition period is set to end on 31 December, leaving just five weeks for a deal to be agreed

The EU’s team of negotiators tasked with finding a post-Brexit trade deal are on their way to London, ahead of another week of crunch talks with the UK.

Having been in self-isolation for two weeks in Brussels after one member of the team tested positive for coronavirus, chief negotiator Michel Barnier said in a tweet that the group will be travelling to London later on 27 November for more talks.
