Britain and the European Union are “running out of time” in their effort to reach a post-Brexit trade deal, UK and Irish government ministers warned on Monday.

“We really are now running out of time,” UK Environment Secretary George Eustice told Sky News. “I really do think we are now into the final week or 10 days.”
