Barnier/Frost To Speak At 1400BST

UK

  • Some within the EU have passed Johnson's claims off as bluster, and still expect a deal to be reached with UK compromise by year-end.
  • UK PM's spokesman also claimed that the UK will not allow talks to continue beyond year end (something that would require an extension to the transtion period)
