UK-EU BREXIT TALKS CONTINUE

The UK's Brexit Secretary and Attorney General are due in Brussels for talks on Thursday as talks continue on changes to the Irish border backstop.

Prime Minister Theresa May held what were described as 'constructive' talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday.

But the EU continues to insist it won't re-open the Withdrawal Agreement between London and Brussels.

The UK's due to leave the EU on March 29th.

Chancellor Philip Hammond says he believes progress is being made and doesn't believe a delay to Brexit would be helpful.
