Newspaper headlines: 30 days to do a deal and HS2 'heading for buffers'

Several of the front pages lead on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's suggestion that an alternative to the Irish backstop plan could be found within 30 days. Mr Johnson has called for the backstop - which aims to avoid a return to physical checks at the Irish border - to be removed from any Brexit deal. The i says the meeting has raised hopes the EU could renegotiate but it predicts a"cooler reception" in France, where Mr Johnson is meeting President Emmanuel Macron later.

The Times also predicts that France will adopt a harsher position than Mrs Merkel. President Macron has warned a no-deal Brexit would be of Britain's own making and a trade deal with the US would represent a"historic vassalisation" of the UK, the paper reports.

Boris just won a thirty-day delay to Parliament doing anything. It's all getting closer and closer to October the 31st and no deal.

They might want to check their translations. Merkel said something completely different.

Merkel did NOT give Johnson a deadline. As she said herself it is not in her competence to negotiate with UK, that is solely the responsibility of the EU27.

30 days to come up with something that has already been rejected how long will it really take?

Merkel 'offers'30 days? Does this means UK is kind of Merkel's employee? Does UK have to thank her? Come on...

With talk of scrapping HS2 a little common sense is creeping into our Government. The cost of this disastrous white elephant is reaching biblical proportions. We have a perfectly good rail connection. Just update that, then use the money for our hospitals, schools and police

i.e. Eurozone heading for buffers and HS2 30 days to do a deal.

Merkel is a joke her own country a mess of note! 😂😂😂😂😂

It's very cool that Merkel can ridicule the Prime Minister's idiotic proposition and the British press is so hopelessly out of its depth that it reports it as sincere

Scrapping HS2 rail project 'would be a disaster'Scrapping HS2 would be a 'disaster' and prevent transformation of road and rail network, a strategy group says They would say that though wouldn't they? ffs!!!!!!.....there are 2 sides to this coin......why dont you do job and report both them! The sooner you are stripped of the license fee, the better our broadcast media becomes! You are a disgrace in how you self gratify, and belittle all alternatives! Iromg Don’t see any need for it. Just upgrade the network that’s there now and get things running on time. The way train fares are spiralling anyway, no one will be able to afford to use it. Complete white elephant and and excuse for brown envelopes to slide across tables.

HS2 could be scrapped as critic gets role in independent reviewGovernment needs ‘clear evidence’ before going ahead, says transport secretary Good. I travel from Leeds to London, by train, on a fortnightly basis yet. Nobody has ever asked my opinion as a regular traveller and I certainly don’t care about the journey being 45 mins shorter for a mega-squillion spend. Give us better transport across the north instead. They guy I know who owns the field that bridge is going through will be pleased Not a single mention of Cummings and Red teams.
