British Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab has said he was "confident" the UK government can negotiate a good deal with the EU, and would hold its nerve. His comments came after the EU rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Chequers proposal at recent a summit in Salzburg, prompting her to declare the two sides were at an "impasse". The European Commission is expected on Monday (24 June) to publish its own analysis of what it calls "the impact of Brexit" for Britain.

His comments came after the EU rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Chequers proposal at recent a summit in Salzburg, prompting her to declare the two sides were at an "impasse". Raab also criticised UK opposition party Labour for its potential vote on a second referendum, calling it "undemocratic", and said the lack of national unity could encourage the EU to offer the UK a "lousy deal".
