EU

Commission spokesman Eric Mamer tweets: "Update on President @vonderleyen's agenda: phone call this evening at 8.30pm (Brussels time) jointly with @eucopresident and @BorisJohnson prior to the European Council."

  • Call between UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EUCO President Charles Michel to take place at 2030CET (1930BST, 1430ET).
  • The discussion is seen as a chance for the three to discuss the progress of talks in the run up to the start of the European Council summit tomorrow, which coincides with the UK's self-imposed deadline for when talks will be ended in order to prepare for reverting to WTO trading terms with the EU.
  • Bloomberg reporting unnamed sources in UK saying the gov't will go past the deadline to get a deal, but this is unconfirmed.
