Brexit talks could be in their final stages, Priti Patel has signalled, saying negotiations have entered "that tunnel".

MPs are expected to be told that Christmas recess will end today, but that they could be recalled with 48 hours notice to sign off any deal. Michael Gove is also due to update the Commons on the latest in Brexit talks this morning.

Boris Johnson has cancelled a trip that was due to take place on Friday, fuelling speculation that a deal could be near, according to the Sun.

The Home Secretary has further stoked those suggestions, telling LBC: "Those talks continue and I can say now, if we do get a deal then obviously Parliament will come back, we will absolutely come back to finesse and do the legislation that's required.

"But, currently, we're in that tunnel of negotiation and our teams continue to work incredibly hard."

She added: "The Prime Minister and the Government, we've all been very clear that we're not walking away, we will continue to negotiate to get this free trade agreement, but of course we're never going to accept anything that undermines or compromises our independence and our sovereignty as a country.

British American Tobacco PLC said Wednesday that its Investigational New Drug application for a coronavirus vaccine has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, allowig it to proceed to Phase 1 clinical trials in adult volunteers.

BAT--which produces cigarettes, electronic and vape products and other tobacco products--said its vaccine candidate will shortly enroll 180 healthy volunteers for a trial, with results expected in mid-2021. If positive, the results would allow for a Phase 2 study, subject to regulatory approval.

The candidate vaccine, developed by BAT's U.S. bio-technology arm Kentucky BioProcessing, uses fast-growing plant-based technology. The approach brings a number of possible advantages, including the rapid production of vaccine active ingredients in six weeks rather than several months, and has the potential to be stable at room temperature.

"Moving into human trials with both our Covid-19 and seasonal flu vaccine candidates is a significant milestone and reflects our considerable efforts to accelerate the development of our emerging biologicals portfolio," BAT's Director of Scientific Research David O'Reilly said.

Shares at 1551 GMT were up 6.5 pence, or 0.2%, at 2844.5 pence.

Le Front National in France is socialist. It pursue socialist economic policies, the antithesis of any Right Winger.

Falsely labelled as Far Right solely on its "nationalism" traits.
There is little Right Wing about the party whatsoever as it believes in the Big State, A State that can and should do all for its citizens. Right Wingers do not believe in that at all.

51.6P included very large provisions at the height of Covid panic though so probably realistically around 60 I reckon...

I wish someone from the government would answer JHB's question ' at what point are deaths and infections low enough to the lower tier 3 to tier 2? Manchester is lower than when Liverpool or London were put into yier 2. There is no objective. The government is addicted to lockdown restrictions. There has apparently been no flu outbreak this year. If Covid 10 is the new flu it seems we will be locked doem in perpetuaty. A new approach is urgently needed IMO.The NHS should be out back in its box as a service not a member of the government.

?John Redwood@johnredwood·36mGlad the PM confirmed the U.K. can have a great future with an Australian style WTO Relationship with the EU. As The EU and U.K. are both members we will trade on most favoured nation terms. Economists agree we will have good growth in the economy next year any way.

John Redwood@johnredwood45mThe UK has now agreed Free Trade deals with 58 countries before leaving the EU Customs Union. No apologies yet from those who said we would lose all EU trade deals on leaving. I look forward to us agreeing to join the large Pacific partnership which the EU has not joined.
