The Brexit trade talks are continuing beyond an agreed deadline of Sunday 13th December - after the UK and the EU agreed their negotiators should “go the extra mile” in search of a deal.

Major issues are still unresolved but in a telephone call, Boris Johnson and the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to continue the negoatiations, without setting a new deadline.

However Mr Johnson said the two sides were still “very far apart” on key issues.

Business leaders have again called on Boris Johnson to rule out a no trade deal departure from the EU, saying it would be “catastrophic” for employment, supermarket supply chains and farming.
