The PM's official spokesman told journalists about it on Monday Morning : "the discussions will remain constructive, but it is to do a lot of work still to do. "

The echo of The Message sent by Mr Johnson to his Cabinet on Sunday and the latest comments by Ireland's Tánaiste (deputy Prime Minister ) Simon Coveney

"A deal is possible, and it is possible, in this month," Mr Coveney said. "It may even be possible This Week . But we are not there yet. "

If The Commons backs a deal, the PM's spokesman said Mr would expect Johnson to be handed over to MPs "around-the-clock work", the necessary legislation can pass through the Escape, scheduled from 23:00 GMT on 31. October .

The Talks between the EU and the UK, led represented by envoy David Frost , has also been stepped up in The Last few days

The Irish border, was a Directive puzzles for a long, long time, but it seems now it has really a bit of push and pull, and a little bit of movement on both sides.

There are tracts of land and parts of the technology going on here. A minister, who was informed, who told the Prime Minister on Sunday, to me, you are blind to the Details.

as far as you are concerned, this is a good Sign - it means that the conversations are real, and traders are able to make their work, without too much political pell-mell.

But while a deal is possible, it is still a massive if.

The politician, " the mood has changed very much in The Last Seven Days , especially since the meeting between Leo Varadkar and Boris Johnson .

And always an offer of course is the easiest to leave politically advantageous for the government, at the end of this month and keep Mr Johnson's promise that got him a 10 in No.
