Boris Johnson has recorded an interview with the BBC's political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, in which at one point he went full Donald Trump. Johnson refused to accept that his trade deal with the EU would create new barriers to trade with the EU - even though it will. Here are the key points.
There are already immense barriers to UK services. There is no internal market for services in the EU.
There will be changes. We've been very clear with people that they'll have to get ready for 1 January, things will work differently. But from the point of view of UK exporters, for instance, they will now have the advantage that they will only have one set of forms they have to fill out for export around the whole world.
People said that that was impossible. And they said that that was having your cake and eating it. If you remember what they said was you couldn't have free trade with the EU unless you conformed with the EU's laws. That has turned out not to be true.
