David Davis to lead United Kingdom team on Brexit talks with European Union officials in Brussels

Brexit Secretary, David Davis will lead the United Kingdom team of negotiators into their fourth round of talks with European Union officials in Brussels today.

It will be the first opportunity for the European delegation to respond to Theresa May’s speech in Florence.

Key figures such as European Union chief negotiator, Michel Barnier described her tone as constructive, which should improve the atmosphere of the talks.

However, European Union negotiators will be expecting more detail on issues like payments to be made by the United Kingdom as it prepares to make its exit.

Next month, European Union leaders are due to decide on so-called separation issues including the rights of citizens, the Irish border and the divorce bill or financial settlement
