UK Minister for the Cabinet Office David Lidington said today that the government is having useful discussion with Brussels. However, it’s still very difficult to reopen withdrawal agreement negotiation.
He told BBC radio that “My experience last week… was that they were a lot more than courtesy calls. It was a very useful discussion about the politics, both within the United Kingdom and within the EU27, and a scoping out of what was possible.” However, Lidington also noted that “Reopening the withdrawal agreement… will be very difficult.”
Brexit Minister Steve Barclay will meet EU’s chief Brexit negotiator today.
