Senior British minister Michael Gove said the chance of striking a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union had fallen because the bloc had not been willing to intensify talks or produce detailed legal texts.

He said both sides needed to compromise to reach a deal, but “the EU side is not doing so at the moment”.
