Michel Barnier has heralded a “crucial moment” in the Brexit talks, as he urged the UK and EU to get behind a “final push” for a trade deal.

Speaking before a briefing for member states’ ambassadors on the latest in the trade deal negotiations, the EU’s chief negotiator suggested an agreement may still be on the table.

Despite Downing Street’s insistence that the UK and EU are still “miles apart” the EU’s chief negotiator suggested there was momentum behind the “transparent” process.
