Chief UK-EU Negotiator Frost: "Agreement can be reached in September"

The UK's chief negotiator with the EU on a post-Brexit FTA David Frost issues a series of tweets: "Looking forward to going to Brussels next week for Round 7 (sic) of the UK/EU negotiations with Michel Barnier. As always, we go in good faith to talk constructively about all the issues."

• "Our assessment is that agreement can be reached in September and we will work to achieve this if we can. As we keep saying, we are not looking for a special or unique agreement. We want a deal with, at its core, an FTA like those the EU has agreed with other friendly countries, like Canada."
• "The UK's sovereignty, over our laws, our courts, or our fishing waters, is of course not up for discussion and we will not accept anything which compromises it - just as we aren't looking for anything which threatens the integrity of the EU's single market."
