Brexit: UK set to rule out any delays – GBP/USD pressured

Beth Rigby, Sky News' political editor, tweeted that sources in the UK government have told her that they will accept no delays to Brexit. 

It is "deal or no deal - but no delays" – and that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not accept one if offered.
