LONDON - Britain and the European Union are on the cusp of a Brexit deal which could be clinched in the next 24 to 48 hours, Prime Minister Theresa May's de facto deputy said on Tuesday.

While officials choreograph the biggest divorce deal in EU history, it remains unclear whether May can get a deal through parliament where opponents have warned she is betraying Brexit by signing up the United Kingdom to EU subjugation.

"We're not quite there yet," Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington told BBC radio. "We are almost within touching distance now."

Asked if he was saying it was possible there could be a deal in the next 24 or 48 hours, he said: "Still possible but not at all definite, I think pretty much sums it up. Cautiously optimistic."

Sterling jumped half a percent to as high as $1.2917 on Lidington's comments.

The EU wants to get agreement on a draft deal by the end of Wednesday at the latest if there is to be a summit this month to approve it. EU diplomats said they didn't have high hopes of a breakthrough this week.

The EU and the United Kingdom need an agreement to keep trade flowing between the world's biggest trading bloc and the fifth largest national economy.

But May has struggled to untangle nearly 46 years of membership without damaging trade or upsetting the lawmakers who will ultimately decide the fate of any deal she can secure.
