The UK wants a Brexit free trade deal with the European Union but is prepared for a no deal scenario, British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said.
Negotiators remain deadlocked on fishing rights, the deal's governance, the European Court of Justice's role and so-called level playing field guarantees, according to The Telegraph newspaper. A spokesman for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said yesterday Britain will continue to engage constructively with EU in talks on a future relationship, but that London is not willing to give up its rights as an independent state. Britain and the European Union resumed talks yesterday, with the clock running down to a year-end deadline for a new post-Brexit deal.
After the coronavirus pandemic combined with the two sides' entrenched positions to stall progress, London and Brussels last month launched five weeks of intensified negotiations.
