British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met his senior ministers on Thursday before setting out on a delicate mission to convince sceptical EU leaders to back his new Brexit plan. Failure to get both the EU and his own fractured parliament to back his plan will result in either a crash exit for Britain or a third Brexit delay this year. UK Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay said all sides had to start real talks on Johnson’s outline by the weekend to have any chance to get a deal in time for an October 17-18 EU leaders’ summit in Brussels.
