BRUSSELS: The EU said Wednesday it currently sees no alternative to the so-called"Irish backstop" in a Brexit withdrawal deal and warned the risk of Britain crashing out without an agreement has increased.
But Brussels says that so far there are no other options which fulfil the EU requirements of protecting the Northern Irish peace agreement and safeguarding the European single market. Johnson is bracing for a fresh showdown in parliament on Wednesday after a humiliating defeat on his Brexit strategy, with lawmakers set to vote on a law that would prevent Britain leaving the EU without a deal.The prime minister has vowed to take Britain out of the EU whether or not a divorce deal is in place, but his government lies in disarray, having lost its majority in parliament.
"There may be twists and turns in political developments in London right now but our position is stable. We are willing to work constructively with PM Johnson and to look at any proposals that he may have as long as they are compatible with the withdrawal agreement," she said.
