UK's Lidington says Irish border is the only outstanding Brexit issue

Comments by UK parliamentary member David Lidington in Poland

  • EU and UK are 85% on the way to a Brexit agreement
  • Says that PM May is very committed to a Chequers deal

That last line is a dead giveaway that things aren't nearly as good as he is talking it up to be as the EU has shot down hopes of a Chequers deal earlier this week. And if the Irish border represents 15% of the unfinished negotiations between the two, I reckon that 15% very much outweighs whatever 85% that they have already agreed upon.
