Brexit talks: EU chief questions feasibility of Johnson’s time limit
Ursula von der Leyen airs concerns about PM’s refusal to extend negotiations past 2020

The European commission president said she had “serious concern” over the limited time available for the negotiations and emphasised the need to keep all options open.
