Brexit Deal 2017 Details

An agreement between the UK and EU on the first stage of brexit negotiations may be drawing nearer, EU Council president Donald Tusk has indicated.

Saying that he was "encouraged by progress" on different issues, suggesting agreement on the "divorce bill" and citizens rights was "getting closer".
