 "UK PM Boris Johnson says almost there on a Brexit deal: Lawmakers")
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a meeting of Conservative lawmakers the European Union and Britain were almost there on a Brexit deal but that the peak of the mountain was still partly shrouded in cloud, sources in the room told Reuters. Johnson, according to a source at the meeting of the 1922 Committee of Conservatives, made a short bouncy speech which was very well received.

"People definitely think a deal is doable. He expressed enough confidence that that was doable," the lawmaker said.
