UK 'needs more charm' for good Brexit deal

LONDON - The UK government needs to approach divorce talks with the European Union with more charm and less "cheap rhetoric" if it wants to get a good deal, former Conservative prime minister John Major said on Monday.

Prime Minister Theresa May, who plans to begin the formal process of leaving the EU by the end of next month, has said the United Kingdom will leave the bloc's single market and instead seek a comprehensive free trade agreement post-Brexit.
