Boris Johnson has warned there is now a 'strong possibility' of the UK and the EU parting ways on December 31 without a trade deal in place. 

The Prime Minister said this evening he is stepping up British preparations for a chaotic split from Brussels at the end of the 'standstill' post-Brexit transition period. 

Mr Johnson said the 'deal on the table is really not at the moment right for the UK' and 'we're really not there yet at all' on the crunch issue of fishing rights.
