Brexit news: EU talks resume as Andy Burnham and councils support Marcus Rashford free school meals campaign

Post-Brexit trade talks between the UK and European Union continued in London as the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier warned both sides have a “common responsibility” to strike a deal.

No10 said “intensive talks” would continue over the weekend, as the deadline for an agreement loomed.

Friday’s talks came as footballer Marcus Rashford's campaign to provide free school meals to poor children over the holidays gathered pace.

Councils, restaurants and other bodies around England have pledged their support, offering free meals, vouchers and financial help to those in need.

Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, said the city would hand out 1,000 food vouchers.
