Ambassadors told to be available for Christmas Eve meeting in case of agreement in next few hours
EU states are readying themselves for the possibility of a Brexit deal being struck within the next few hours, by pencilling in a Christmas Eve meeting to start the ratification process.
Ambassadors in Brussels have been told to be available to meet on Thursday if the negotiations come to fruition. Diplomats representing the EU member states are already combing through some of the the 2,000 pages of legal text that have been agreed.
