The story:
Neither Downing Street nor Brussels has set a deadline for the extended talks, though sources on both sides suggest the next few days could be crucial.

Key words and phrases:
go the extra mile - make a greater effort than is expected
If you go the extra mile with your studies, you’ll probably pass the exam.
Health workers have gone the extra mile during the pandemic.
stockpile - gather a large amount of something for future use

If too many people stockpile essential goods, there won’t be enough for everybody.
crash-out - leave in a disorganised way
Everyone thought the finance minister would become the next party leader but he crashed out in the first round of voting.
