In his Sky interview, Johnson warned that no deal is still more likely. And he said that his suggestion to talk to other EU leaders has been rejected by the EU. He said:

The UK certainly won't be walking away from the talks. I think people will expect us to go the extra mile. I repeated my offer, which is if it's necessary to talk to other capitals, then I'm very happy to do that. The commission is very determined to keep the negotiations on the way that they be done between us and the commission and that's fine.

But I'm going to repeat the most likely thing now is of course that we have to get ready for WTO terms, Australia terms. And don't forget, everybody, we've made huge preparations for this we've been at this for four and a half years ... perhaps more intensively in the last couple of years than previously. But anyway, we've got ready. And anybody who needs to know what to do get on to gov.uk/transition, see what needs to be done and get ready for 1 January. Either way, whatever happens, the UK will do very, very well.

Boris Johnson has warned that the two sides are very far apart on some key things".

In quite a downbeat interview with Sky News, the prime minister said:

I've just talked to Ursula Von der Leyen and updated the cabinet about the contents of that call. On Wednesday, the hope was that we were going to be able to finish things off today, if there was a deal to be done.

As things stand, and this is basically what Ursula and I agreed. I'm afraid we're still very far apart on some key things. But where there's life, there's hope we're going to keep talking to see what we can do.
