Michel Barnier has conceded that talks over a withdrawal deal are unlikely to be may not be completed by the European Council summit in October as previously stated which has raised the prospect that Brexit may be delayed.

The Chief negotiator for the EU and Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab have still not agreed on the Irish Border issue along with outstanding withdrawal agreement issues and a political declaration on the future relationship.

Barnier has said:

If you count backwards from that date, March 30 2019, the day on which the UK will no longer be a member of the European Union – while remaining for 21 months, if we reach an agreement, in the single market, customs union and European policies – the countdown backwards from there has to take account of the time which is necessary for ratification.

That is a given, it will take a certain amount of time to ratify the agreement – on the UK side and the European side. That takes us for a final agreement on the withdrawal agreement and political declaration well before the end of the year.”

This comes as the grassroots organisation UK Unity has started an Event on Facebook and plans to hold a protest in London outside the British parliament. The event is set to take place on the 5 September at 11:00–14:00 and will meet at the Winston Churchill statue.

The event on Facebook has seen growing interest of thousands, the description of the event is as follows:

 “The people have had enough and UK unity says we cannot sit back and allow this Brexit betrayal so we must take ACTION! This will be the first Prime Ministers Questions back after the summer recess. Doing it at this time means we should also get media coverage like our previous rallies.

We need as many people on the streets to tell May we will not accept her soft Brexit!

We will symbolically block the gates of Number 10 before she leaves to go to PMQ’s then we will make our way to Parliament to protest while all the traitor MP’s are listening! Please share this event far and wide. UK unity will provide banners and placards and people are also encouraged to bring their own  boards and banners as well as flags.

Unity currently has over 20,000 signed up supporters and a membership base that is always seeking to expand. The founder of UK Unity David Clews has shown his discontent with Theresa May and the British cabinet over the way they have been handling the Brexit negotiations among other things.

UK Unity was formed nine months ago and since has had various action days all around the country, however, this protest is the first of its kind using fruitful language like they will ‘symbolically block the gates of Number 10′
