'EU can't play hardball forever' Tory MEP holds hope for last-minute Brexit deal
Ashley Fox suggested the hard approach showcased by the bloc during Brexit talks with the UK is part of its usual negotiating tactics
The seasoned MEP also claimed the European Union is exploiting division within the Cabinet to "waver" the resolve of Britons to see Brexit through.
Mr Fox said: "Despite the occasional harsh words, a common EU tactic, we are where we are expected to be at this stage of the process.
"The Withdrawal Agreement has almost been finalised and I hope it can be signed off at the October summit, probably in the usual EU fashion, with a last-minute deal."
