Eustice says talks in ‘a very difficult position’ and hits out at EU’s ‘ludicrous’ demands on fishing rights
The UK government will have to “take a position in the next few days” on whether a Brexit deal can be struck, the cabinet minister George Eustice has said, accusing the EU of making “a whole load of additional demands” at the last minute that put the prospects of an agreement in doubt.
In interviews on Sunday morning, the environment secretary echoed reports overnight that talks were close to collapse, with a UK source close to the negotiations telling journalists: “This is the final throw of the dice”.
