Negotiators on both sides have claimed that a deal is close. The European Union’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier confirmed that “the parameters of a possible agreement are very largely defined”, following talks that went on until the early hours of Monday morning.
However, campaign groups People’s Vote and Best for Britain hope to “keep up the pressure” with a second rally, claiming that “whatever desperate deal they’ve cobbled together, we know it would leave us worse off”.

The weed killer manufacturer was ordered to pay $289m in compensation to a former customer in August, shortly after it was acquired by Bayer. It was ruled that its products had resulted in the man’s cancer.
