Odds on UK leaving EU in October Collapse as Merkel says No

A No 10 source says a Brexit deal is “essentially impossible” for the EU to accept Boris Johnson’s deal after a call between the PM and Angela Merkel. Boris Johnson spoke to the German chancellor earlier about the proposals he put forward to the EU – but the source said she made clear a deal based on them was “overwhelmingly unlikely”.

They also claimed she said a deal would never be possible unless Northern Ireland stayed in a customs union. Mrs Merkel’s spokesman said they did not reveal confidential conversations.

The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, sent a public tweet to Mr Johnson, writing: “What’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people.”

Downing Street still maintains that we are leaving the EU on the 31st of October but the betting markets do not agree with this showing that there is only a 1 in 5 chance of this happening as you can see below from the website Political Betting:

This comes despite Boris Johnson and Downing Street maintaining we will be leaving the EU on the 31st of October. There is speculation that Hungary may veto any Article 50 extension or Boris Johnson has a secret plan to get us out. Things at the moment are in a febrile state in British politics with many accusing the remain establishment of sabotaging Boris’s attempts to get us out of the EU.
