• Merkel: "Absolutely no doubt' good Brexit conclusion possible"

Mr Davis described leaving the EU without a deal as a very distant possibility.  However, as the Time's reported, he said that the government was preparing for 'no-deal' as an insurance policy and added that it did not intend to pursue the option. Whitehall sources said that Mr Davis was not going to accentuate the positives of a no-deal scenario unnecessarily in his presentation to the cabinet."
