EU 'READY TO TWEAK BREXIT NEGOTIATING MANDATE'

The EU is considering updating the instructions to its chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, according to the Financial Times.

It's reported Mr Barnier's mandate could be given additional guidance to boost the chances of reaching a deal with the UK on its exit from the bloc.

However, EU member states continue to have reservations about UK Prime Minister Theresa May's so-called 'Chequers Plan'.

And she continues to face opposition on the proposals from Brexiteers in her own Conservative Party who believe it doesn't represent a clean break with the EU.

Former cabinet minister David Mellor believes neither Mrs May nor the Brexiteers have convinced the British people.
