Brexit breakthrough remains beyond reach as fishing row prevails

Michel Barnier told EU ambassadors on Tuesday night that Britain’s latest offer on fishing rights was unacceptable after declaring that trade negotiations were in the “final push”.
Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, were said to be in constant contact on Tuesday as they searched for a Brexit trade deal breakthrough.
The two leaders appeared to have taken the lead in negotiations, with Mrs von der Leyen calling other EU leaders such as Emmanuel Macron to try to broker a compromise.

As EU countries have a £70billion trade surplus with Britain it means that they face paying billions more in tariffs than British firms.
Just over two weeks ago, when a deal appeared to be close, extra demands by French president Emmanuel Macron scuppered a chance of a compromise, it was said.
The Government source said the intransigence of European leaders, as well as the EU negotiating team led by Michel Barnier, had so far resulted in deadlock.
They said: “We need to get any deal right and based on terms which respect what the British people voted for. Unfortunately, the EU are still struggling to get the flexibility needed from member states and are continuing to make demands that are incompatible with our independence.
