British Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists his priority is still to get a Brexit deal rather than leave on Oct. 31 without one. European Union officials with knowledge of the negotiations in Brussels are not convinced, saying a lack of seriousness suggests the British side is playing for time. So what's really going on?
Johnson was heckled by a passerby in Morley in West Yorkshire on Friday who told him he "should be in Brussels negotiating."
In truth, his envoy, David Frost, is there for meetings with the European Commission twice a week. They're scheduled to continue this week.
