David Frost, a former British ambassador to Denmark who was also an adviser to Johnson when he was foreign secretary, is to hold talks with EU officials over the next 48 hours.

The shared accommodation model involves en-suite bedrooms of just 16.5 square metres with communal living areas and kitchens.
