UK Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove said there’s now a “smoother glidepath to a possible deal” with the EU. The comment came after both sides reached an “agreement in principle” on all issues, “in particular with regard to the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland. The UK government is now ready to scrap the highly-controversial part of its Internal market Bill.
But Gove also told BBC ratio together, ” the compromise exists on the way in which European boats can continue to access UK waters but what is not up for compromise is the principle that the UK will be an independent coastal state, and that it will be a matter for negotiation between the UK and the EU.”
UK Prime Minister is heading to Brussels today to work through a list of major sticking points with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
