BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS ARE MOVING IN 'RIGHT DIRECTION' SAYS VARADKAR A colossal 88 percent said the Prime Minister should not attend the summit at the EU headquarters in Brussels,

Belgium, in 48 hours to show bloc officials who have demanded further concessions Britain will not bow down to their demands. When Express.co.uk asked participants the question “Should Boris

Johnson get serious and boycott Thursday’s EU summit?”, 10,953 said yes, the leader of the Tory Party should make a stand for the UK. Up to 11 percent disagreed and think Mr Johnson should

attend the summit, which is 1,386 of the ballot. RELATED ARTICLES A total of 243 clicked the ‘don’t know’ option, which is just one percent of the vote. Comments were a mixed bag with

participants giving their own thoughts on Mr Johnson attending or to attending the summit. One commenter said: “Man up Boris, walk away from the EU on WTO and stuff what Parliament says,

Article 51 trumps the Benn Act.” Another said: “Show them who’s boss Boris. We want no deal.” A colossal 88 percent said the Prime Minister should not attend the summit (Image: GETTY) The

Benn Act waspassed by MPs opposed to no deal, including Tory rebels (Image: GETTY) A third said: “Boris Johnson is serious and should reiterate UK is leaving EU on 31 October 2019 at

Thursday’s EU summit.” A fourth comment read: “Of course not, but if they try to insult the UK PM as they did Mrs May, and she let them, he should make it known and certainly not hang around

to be photographed standing the back row like some naughty school child banished to the EU non-entities! “Bring back the UK’s pride in tact PM, do not let it be denigrated further by the

EU!” Another commenter said: “Boycott Brussels, Bin the Benn act and for heavens sake get us out with No Deal.” READ NOW: BREXIT MAP: WHICH COUNTRIES COULD BLOCK THE BREXIT DEAL?  Mr Barnier

(Image: GETTY/APESTER) Mr Barnier showed optimism about a deal being struck after he debriefed EU27 ministers in Luxembourg ahead of the summit, which will take place on Thursday and Friday.

He tweeted afterwords: “Talks are difficult but I believe an agreement is still possible.” The two-day EU summit is important because Mr Johnson must get a new deal approved by MPs by

Saturday if he is to avoid being obliged to ask for a Brexit delay. The Benn Act passed by MPs opposed to no deal, including Tory rebels, says he must ask for an extension to Article 50 if

MPs do not back a deal by then. The Brexit deadline is just over two weeks away (Image: EXPRESS.CO.UK) A Cabinet briefing on Brexit has been postponed by Mr Johnson on Wednesday morning as

talks continue to hammer out a new deal ahead of the October 31 deadline. Senior ministers will now reportedly be updated on Wednesday so he can give more detailed information on efforts to

strike a new agreement. The Prime Minister has also been under increasing pressure to give way to Brussels. Some reports are suggesting the UK has dropped a demand that a deal should include

a veto for the Stormont Assembly on customs arrangements. BREXIT: ‘HEADLINE DEAL’ COULD BE DONE BEFORE MIDNIGHT SAYS EXPERT Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Barnier said work to secure a deal has

been “intense”. His words came after negotiations are believed to have gone on until 11pm on Monday night. The Express.co. uk poll attracted 12,852 participants that ran from 12.11pm to

8.35pm on October 15.
