However, amid concerns in London that the document could lead to fresh demands from Brexiteers for Theresa May to abandon her plan for a Chequers-style deal, the paper is being redrafted. Brexit has delayed publishing a draft on how the post-Brexit sees a trade deal working EU , after Downing Street signalled new concessions in their negotiating position. EU sources say these will be taken into account and the blueprint redrafted, in order to buy Theresa May time to gather domestic support for a final “grand bargain” ahead of tomorrow ’s critical meeting of Irish leaders. The delay comes amid speculation that the DUP is prepared to compromise on the Irish border backstop.
