European Council President Donald Tusk said after meeting between EU leaders that “everybody shared the view that while there are positive elements in the Chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic cooperation will not work, not least because it risks undermining the single market.”
And, he added “the moment of truth for Brexit negotiations will be the October European Council. In October we expect maximum progress and results in the Brexit talks.”
Separately, UK Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said “we are confident if we can get the support of the European Union, ultimately it would get through parliament.” Also, “people will be very angry indeed if we had a second referendum and it’s certainly not the government’s policy.”
