The British government is “riven by internal dissent” and lacks credibility on the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, former taoiseach Enda Kenny has said. “There are a number of different scenarios that could arise if we’re in a ‘no deal’ situation,” Mr Varadkar told TV3. Mr Kenny called on European Council president Donald Tusk to convene a special summit later this year to sign off on the final Brexit withdrawal treaty. Mr Kenny said the October summit would not be a negotiating meeting, adding that Britain was not represented at the European Council when Brexit was discussed. Mr Kenny secured such an agreement from the EU last year, and it had become known as the “Kenny text”.
