Give Brexit Talks Time, Johnson’s Chief negotiator Frost Advises (The Times)

UK

Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator, Lord Frost, has told the prime minister not to walk out of trade talks because deals to cover security and fishing are possible over the next two weeks. Last month Mr Johnson set the European Union summit today as the deadline for an agreement or it would be time to "move on" and accept that there would be no deal. A source close to the talks said Lord Frost advised Mr Johnson that a deal with the EU was not impossible, although time was tight to agree 500 pages of legal text this month. He told Downing Street both sides would need to work hard, with a shift to daily talks, but that a deal could be reached in time.
