Brexit LIVE: Steely nerves! Before canceling the deal, Truss will give the EU a 72-hour deadline.

Ms Truss wants to rip up parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol in order to eliminate border checks on goods entering Northern Ireland unilaterally. She believes that the long-running talks with the EU have come to a halt and that nothing more can be done. Mr. Sefcovic stated that joint solutions to protocol issues can be found with “political will” and “genuine commitment.” “We are working extremely hard to find real solutions to this,” a spokesman for Number 10 said. However, it is clear that the EU’s proposals as they stand do not address the Protocol’s underlying issues. According to The Telegraph, a decision on whether to give ministers the power to override large parts of the Brexit withdrawal deal could be made as early as Monday.
