Leaving the European Union without a trade deal would still be a “good outcome” for the UK, the British Prime Minister has said.

Boris Johnson, in comments due to be made on Monday, will tell Brussels that if no agreement can be reached by the October European Council, then both sides should be prepared to “accept that and move on”.
