Pound falls sharply against Euro amidst Brexit uncertainty

Foreign minister Simon Coveney told Express.co.uk he hoped a deal would be possible. But he warned: “It certainly looks very difficult at the moment.” His intervention came after Michel Barnier informed EU27 ambassadors this morning that the talks are still deadlocked on the issues of post-Brexit fishing rights, the so-called level playing field and policing the final agreement.

In a separate interview with Irish broadcaster RTE, Mr Coveney said the bloc’s Brexit chief had given a “very gloomy, downbeat” assessment of the current state of play.

“There really was no progress made yesterday, so we’ve got to try to make a breakthrough at some point today.”
