Brexit negotiator says deal ‘possible’ by November

The European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator says a divorce agreement with Britain by early November is “possible.” At a conference in the Alpine lake resort of Bled in northwestern Slovenia, Michel Barnier said a Brexit deal was “not far,” with some 80 per cent agreed upon. But he acknowledged that tough issues remain, not least the border between EU member Ireland and Northern Ireland, which has been one of the thorniest issues.
