Brexit hangs in the balance as talks between EU and Britain intensify FMTNews

The 2016 Brexit referendum shows a United Kingdom divided about much more than the European Union.

But Johnson must navigate the complexities of EU politics to strike a deal at an Oct 17-18 EU summit and then try to convince a deeply divided British parliament on Oct 19 to ratify any deal. “Negotiations seem to be taking a more serious turn and that’s encouraging,” Jacob Rees-Mogg, a Brexit-supporting Conservative lawmaker who runs the government’s business in parliament, told Sky News.

The government says it is doing everything it can to get a deal, and that it has contingency plans to mitigate the impact of a no-deal exit. Ireland has proved the toughest issue in the Brexit talks: specifically how to prevent the British province of Northern Ireland becoming a backdoor into the EU’s markets without having border controls.

The Sunday Times reported that Johnson will speak to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker by the end of Monday.
