Brexit minister Barclay speaks

UK Brexit minister Barclay is on the wires saying:

  • With a very real deadline looming, now is not the time to rerun old arguments
  • UK has put forward clear new proposals, we now need to agree a balanced solution that can work for both sides

Meanwhile Sky News is quoting DUP Leader Dodd who says:

  • Barnier proposal is neither a realistic nor sensible
  • Proposal disrespects the constitutional and economic intergrity of UK.
  • Deal still possible but there must be less intransigence in Brussels
  • Barnier proposal demonstrates one-sided approach and a lack of understanding about the divisions in Northern Ireland
