BBC News: Reports " UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to Brussels this week to meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a last ditch effort to salvage a post-Brexit trade deal. "
Lets Get Real:
The UK and EU delegations in Brussels have gotten nowhere, so why is the PM going to the EU. There could be a chance of deal, like he did with the Irish PM, but in this context he will have to deal with the French and Germans, and also his ERG will be looking over his shoulder to make sure that he does not sell out UK interests to be popular with the EU and the French. On the other hand the PM might want to show that he tried everything before throwing in the towel and calling the talks to a HALT and going for a NO DEAL BREXIT. It is unknown when the PM is going, it could be Tuesday or even Friday as some have suggested, also there is a EU Summit going on in Brussels on Thursday, the PM will not want to be like PM May, stuck in a room waiting news from the EU. Only a fool would make a prediction on the outcome.
