British PM optimistic about Brexit deal

Expressing optimism about the Brexit deal, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that “We’ve been also negotiating with our friends and partners in the EU about Brexit and you know I’m still cautiously, cautiously optimistic.” 

The Prime Minister also stated that “wonderful” climate change activists had been making a lot of noise with the “haunting, lilting melody of the saxophone wafting in over the Downing Street walls.” Hopes for the deal faded after a call between Boris and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, where the latter reportedly told him that the disagreements over Northern Ireland could not be bridged, “not just now but ever.”
