The Irish border question is continuing to dog Brexit negotiators, who meet again today in a desperate bid to break the deadlock in time.

The UK is under pressure to come up with a plan by 18 April, when chief Brexit official Olly Robbins and the EU’s deputy negotiator Sabine Weyand are scheduled to assess the options.

Unless a solution is found that appeases both sides, the EU will insist on the backstop option raised by Michel Barnier, which would effectively keep Northern Ireland in the customs union and Single Market - something which Theresa May said would never be acceptable.
