Michel Barnier returns to Brussels as Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen prepare for direct talks
UK government sources have put the chances of a Brexit deal at no higher than 50% as Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen prepare to open direct talks after their negotiators failed to come to terms in London.
Leaving King’s Cross for Brussels on Saturday morning, the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, told reporters: “We keep calm, as always, and if there is still a way, we will see.”
