Theresa May and 11 senior ministers have been thrashing out the UK’s approach to Brexit in an eight-hour discussion at the PM’s country retreat.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said everyone is said to have left Chequers happy implying “baby steps forwards not a huge breakthrough”.
The PM will set out the position in a speech next week, after a discussion by the full cabinet.
There have been clear differences between ministers over the way forward.
But Laura Kuenssberg said she had been told the prime minister had “played a blinder” and persuaded Brexiteers to shift their position.
However, a cabinet Brexiteer source had said “divergence has won the day” with mutual recognition between the UK and EU on goods in future, rather than the UK being forced to stick to EU rules.
