CBI pushing hard for UK and EU to find Brexit compromise

The CBI has stepped up its campaign for the UK and the EU to strike a compromise Brexit deal after its latest snapshot of manufacturing showed the pace of output growth slowing.

Despite stronger order books the employers' organisation said industry was struggling to cope with the twin impact of slower global growth and uncertainty about Britain's future relationship with the EU 27.
