A leading academic expert on politics believed that European negotiators may seek to continue Brexit talks with Britain until the 2020s when a new government will be in place at Westminster.

Dimitris Papadimitriou, professor of politics and director of the Manchester Jean Monnet Center of Excellence at the University of Manchester, also said Brussels may have the upper hand in brokering a deal with the British government because, in his view, Britain needs the access to Europe's single market more than it needs Britain.
