Brexit latest news – Negotiations ‘to run for another fortnight’ as Michel Barnier warns ‘serious divergences remain’

BREXIT negotiations could run for another two weeks as progress continues slowly.

Michel Barnier said “very serious divergencies remain” between the EU and UK negotiators.

The problematic areas are still fishing and state aid.

It has been two weeks since talks resumed after coming close to a breakthrough.

A UK Government spokesman said: “Our position on fisheries has been clear from the start… We will only make progress if the EU accepts the UK will have the right to control access to its waters at the end of this year.”
