BORIS SAYS THE UK HAS “BAGS OF TIME” FOR EU TO COMPROMISE ON BREXIT DEAL
The Independent says the PM has claimed there is “bags of time” for the EU to compromise on a deal. The PM said he was confident the EU would show “common sense” despite the looming Brexit deadline.

Brexit talks have hit a wall after the PM refused to go Brussels until the EU was ready to discuss removing the Irish backstop.
Boris told the BBC: “ I very much hope that our friends and partners will show common sense and that they will compromise…I’m sure there is compromise to be found and as we’ve made clear, the backstop just doesn’t work for a proud democracy like the UK.”
