A Brexit trade deal between the UK and the EU is within reach as both sides neared agreement last night.
But, as both sides closed in on securing a deal, some warned the Prime Minister may have given up on some of his strict red lines to get a deal over the line.
Now, a leading Brexiteer has demanded an “exit clause” from the deal.
