Conservative MPs have been told they must be in Westminster on Monday - leading to speculation a new Brexit deal is to be announced
The likelihood of an announcement was further boosted on Friday after sources in London and Brussels said an evening call between the prime minister and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was"positive".
Ms von der Leyen was expected to arrive in the UK to meet Mr Sunak on Saturday for further in-person talks about the Northern Ireland protocol but that is no longer happening, government sources confirmed.Sky News revealed on Friday the government had been planning to get King Charles to meet Ms von der Leyen at Windsor Castle as part of the negotiations, but that was cancelled earlier on Friday. There is no suggestion the King would have taken part in talks.
"It would be wrong to suggest the King would be involved in anything remotely political," a government source told the PA news agency.DUP tests delaying deal?
