CHEQUERS BREXIT PLAN 'DEAD'

UK Prime Minister Theresa May's being warned by some of her own MPs that her so-called 'Chequers deal' on Brexit is effectively dead.

Many in the Brexiteer wing of the Conservatives believe the plan agreed by her cabinet for Brexit talks would be worse than staying in the EU on current terms.

And they're also warning Brussels looks set to reject it anyway.

It involves the UK agreeing a 'common rulebook' with EU with regards to the trade in goods - to try and avoid slowing down trade at the border.

Conservative MP John Whittingdale has been to meet with EU negotiator Michel Barnier to discuss the Chequers plan and says a new approach is needed.
