EU-UK Brexit talks over Northern Ireland end with no breakthrough UK-EU Brexit talks on Northern Ireland ended after just over three hours with “no breakthroughs”. European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic and Brexit Minister Lord Frost met in London this morning but did not reach a consensus on how to implement the agreement in NI. Frost said that there was a “frank discussion” during the three-and-a-half hour talks, but that there had been no movement over the Northern Ireland Protocol. However, according to Frost both sides had agreed to carry on talking in a bid for a breakthrough.
