PM and EU’s Ursula von der Leyen agree at Brussels dinner to pull back from no-deal departure
The UK and EU must do a deal within 72 hours or prepare for no deal, No 10 has said after the conclusion of a three-hour dinner summit between Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen.
After the meeting, “significant” gaps were said to remain between the prime minister and European commission president. They agreed that negotiations could go on but had to come to a resolution within 72 hours.
