Brexit: No 10 denies government is split over pre-Christmas election

No 10 has indicated the PM will seek a snap poll if the EU proposes delaying the Brexit deadline until January.However, some ministers are understood to want to focus on getting the PM’s Withdrawal Agreement Bill through Parliament instead, reports BBC.
