    EU parliament lays down red line on Brexit talks – meaning no extension past October


    The EU parliament has dashed hopes that Brexit negotiators could be given more time to avert a no-deal, drawing a red line on an extension to talks.

    However, the Observer's leader column describes Downing Street's approach to the negotiations as "highly irresponsible". The paper highlights the fact that on one key sticking point - state aid - all the UK has offered is a "vague briefing" about big subsidies for technology companies.

    For a second consecutive day, front-page headlines feature strong words about the Brexit process from the UK side.
    "38 days for Brexit deal or we walk" is the Daily Telegraph's summary of the prime minister's stance. It says Boris Johnson is moving decisively to break months of deadlock between negotiators, and that if there's no breakthrough by 15 October, Britain will accept No Deal and move on.
    However, the Financial Times breaks the news of a plan by the government to introduce new legislation that would override key parts of the withdrawal agreement relating to Northern Ireland.
    "UK plan to undermine withdrawal treaty threatens Brexit trade talks," reads its headline. And while the government insists this is merely a "fallback plan" should negotiations with Brussels fail, a source tells the FT it would be "a very blunt instrument" - and that ministers would be acting in "full cognisance" of breaching international law.

    UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will tell EU leaders that the Brexit divorce deal is "contradictory" and must be rewritten to protect the Union, according to the Daily Telegraph.
    Mr Johnson is said to believe the withdrawal agreement would leave Northern Ireland isolated from the rest of the UK. This was "unforeseen" when the deal was signed last year, a government source tells the paper.
    The Financial Times says when the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier arrives in London for Brexit talks on Tuesday, he will issue a "stark warning" - that if the divorce agreement is "re-drawn", negotiations about a trade deal will collapse.
    For the Daily Express it's an "angry stand-off" that's left talks teetering on a knife edge.
    The Guardian has seen leaked diplomatic cables it says are evidence of the EU's "plummeting trust" in Mr Johnson.
    According to one of the dispatches, the European Commission fears Downing Street is behind a "barrage" of anti-EU articles in British newspapers.

    The Financial Times believes Mr Johnson could be facing a "serious rebellion" within party ranks, following the admission that the proposed changes to the withdrawal agreement would break international law.
    The paper's sensed alarm in Brussels - and quotes the Irish foreign minister as saying "there must be no appeasement of this approach".
    The Guardian - leading on the same story - calls into question the futures of the Justice Secretary Robert Buckland and the Attorney General Suella Braverman. Both have taken oaths to uphold the rule of law, the paper says. "Britannia waives the rules" is the i's
    headline.

    Brexit: ‘Absolutely no chance’ of US-UK trade deal passing Congress if Boris Johnson damages Good Friday Agreement, Pelosi warns

    The Financial Times leads on Brexit - saying Mr Johnson is facing "growing condemnation" for his plans to "unstitch" parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement he signed with the EU.
    It quotes an EU diplomat describing the move as the "absolute nadir of four years of negotiations by a country known as the cradle of democracy".
    The Independent website says the former deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine has become the latest Conservative grandee to denounce the move.
    He's reportedly said that any attempt to "tear up" the treaty would face "certain defeat" in the House of Lords.




    In its editorial, the Times says reneging on obligations under the EU withdrawal
    agreement would represent "the most serious misstep yet" of Mr Johnson's premiership.
    It urges the government to rethink - or risk undermining Britain's reputation at home and abroad.

    US Democrats wade into row over Brexit deal: Nancy Pelosi backs the EU and Ireland and threatens a veto of US trade pact with Britain if Boris Johnson breaks the law and overrides Withdrawal Agreement



    Nancy Pelosi (pictured left), a prominent Democrat, said that the American Congress would never pass an economic agreement that it felt could 'imperil' the Northern Ireland
    peace accord. The comments come after the Prime Minister caught the EU by surprise by
    unveiling plans to override key elements of the Brexit deal regarding Northern Ireland.
    Ministers have admitted that the proposed Internal Market Bill will breach international
    law. In a statement on Wednesday, Ms Pelosi said: 'The Good Friday Agreement is the
    bedrock of peace in Northern Ireland and an inspiration for the whole world. Whatever
    form it takes, Brexit cannot be allowed to imperil the Good Friday Agreement, including
    the stability brought by the invisible and frictionless border between the Irish Republic
    and Northern Ireland.' It comes as former Prime Minister Sir John Major (inset) took aim
    at Boris Johnson's plans to override parts of the Brexit divorce deal, warning that the
    UK's global reputation as a trustworthy nation is at stake.
