UK has ‘best possible Brexit deal,’ claims EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier

EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has claimed that the UK-EU Withdrawal agreement is “the best possible deal,” including the controversial Irish backstop, in an interview with Irish broadcaster RTE.

Barnier insisted that Prime Minister Theresa May should focus on creating a strong majority within parliament for the Brexit deal brokered between the EU and the UK – adding that the bloc’s focus is on the future relationship.

In the interview, Barnier also dismissed reports that a bilateral deal between Ireland and the UK had been struck, insisting that the EU only negotiated as one team.
