A NO DEAL EU exit is now likely according to Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, who said Brussels won’t renegotiate the fundamentals of Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement in a blow to Prime Minster Boris Johnson.<br />Mr Barnier said the EU will discuss alternatives to the controversial Northern Ireland backstop, but only if Parliament passes Mrs May’s agreement. He also denied Brussels would be responsible for a no deal Brexit, and claimed “many people in the UK” would agree.
