Theresa May should go to Germany and negotiate a deal to avoid the Irish backstop, according to former Brexit secretary David Davis. The MP for Haltemprice and Howden said: “I have said many times that negotiations with the EU would only really make substantive progress at the eleventh hour. I think it's fair to say now we are at the eleventh hour and fifty-nine minutes.”

The arch-Brexiteer believes the UK “needs to change the direction of travel” in order to get the Prime Minister’s deal through the House of Commons.

He said Mrs May should listen to Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, the leader of Germany's CDU party, who earlier this week said: “If the UK now came to us and said: ‘let's spend five days negotiating non-stop on how to avoid the backstop’, I can't imagine anyone in Europe saying 'No'.

“If the UK had new watertight proposals for the border, I don't think anyone in the EU would say 'We don't want to talk about it.’”

Ms Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer is very close to Angela Merkel and widely tipped to be the next German chancellor.
