Brexit: Issues Remain as Deadline Looms – with Peter Foster

Brexit: Issues Remain as Deadline Looms – with Peter Foster

At this moment in time there is still optimism that a deal may be struck in Brexit talks between the EU and the UK ahead of tomorrow’s European Council meeting, though the outstanding issues may see it go right down to the wire.
