UK cross-party Brexit talks continue

Monday, 15 April 2019 12:02

Cross-party talks continue in the UK to try and find a Brexit compromise.

Working groups are being set up to try and find common ground in key areas.

The government says both sides will "take stock" in just over a week, to decide if the talks stand a chance of reaching a solution.

A Brexit deal needs to be agreed by MPs within weeks if the UK is to avoid taking part in European elections in May.

Labour Shadow Cabinet member Andy McDonald says it's going to be hard to reach an agreement with the government on his party's priorities.
