Brexit: EU 'simply saying no' to further talks

Cabinet minister Michael Gove says the EU "seem to be refusing to negotiate with the UK" over a new Brexit deal.

It comes after the EU said UK demands to remove the Irish backstop from Theresa May's deal were unacceptable.

Mr Gove - who is leading no-deal planning - said he was "saddened" at what he saw as Brussels' unwillingness to talk.
