The leaders of Britain and Ireland say they have spotted a pathway to an elusive Brexit deal just three weeks before the UK's deadline to leave the European Union.

There was little of substance in Mr Varadkar and Mr Johnson's statement indicating a breakthrough or whether the"pathway" was near or far off.

"I think it is possible for us to come to an agreement, to have a treaty to allow the UK to leave the EU in an orderly fashion, and to have that done by the end of October," he said. Mr Varadkar and other EU leaders say Mr Johnson, who took office in July, has repudiated the withdrawal agreement made with the bloc by his predecessor, Theresa May.

Brexit talks have all but stalled over the vexed issue of the Irish border — the most contentious aspect of any potential exit deal.However, many members of Britain's Parliament are determined to prevent a no-deal Brexit, which economists say would plunge the UK economy into recession.
