EU MULLS BREXIT DELAY AS LEAK RAISES FEARS OF PM PLAN TO CUT WORKERS' RIGHTS

An announcement is expected early next week.

Deliberations in Brussels over a Brexit delay have continued into the weekend, as a leaked document indicates the UK could deviate away from EU employee and environmental rights after exit day.

After a meeting of European Union ambassadors on Friday, a Brussels source said there was "full agreement on the need for an extension" and that "work will continue over the weekend".

A final decision on whether they will opt for an extension until January or a shorter November delay - thought to be favoured by French President Emmanuel Macron - is not expected until Monday or Tuesday.
