Boris Johnson and Irish premier Leo Varadkar have said they can "see a pathway" to a possible Brexit deal, breaking the deadlock on the Northern Ireland backstop.
Following more than two hours of "detailed and constructive" talks at a country manor on the Wirral, the two leaders said it was in "everybody's interest" to get an agreement which would allow the UK to leave with a deal.
Mr Varadkar said he hoped the progress they had made would be "sufficient" to enable intensive negotiations to resume in Brussels ahead of next week's crucial EU summit.
EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier has welcomed a "constructive meeting" with Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay in Brussels.
Julia Hartley-Brewer was joined by Labour MP Stephen Timms, Lib Dem MP Leo Varadkar, Conservative MP Nigel Evans, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson and The Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe.
