Brexit today - LIVE: Theresa May and senior ministers arrive at Chequers for 'war cabinet' meeting to decide on UK's future relationship with EU

Theresa May is hosting ten of her most senior cabinet ministers at Chequers this afternoon as they attempt to reach an agreement on the UK's future relationship with the EU.

It follows two meetings of the 'Brexit war cabinet' earlier this month that failed to reach a compromise. Pro-EU ministers such as Philip Hammond and Amber Rudd have clashed with Brexiteers like Boris Johnson and Liam Fox about how close a relationship the UK should maintain with Europe.

Today's meeting is designed to agree a shared position before Theresa May gives a major speech on Brexit later next week. Jeremy Corbyn will also give a speech on the issue on Monday, with speculation he will soften Labour's stance - possibly with a pledge to keep the UK in the customs union.

Before senior ministers head to Chequers, Robin Walker, the Brexit minister, and Sir Tim Barrow, the UK's representative to the EU, were grilled by Parliament's European Scrutiny Committee, while Liam Fox faced an hour of questions from MPs in the Commons chamber.
