Boris Johnson told ministers that failing to reach a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union should hold “no fear” for the UK.

The UK Prime Minister, who wants to know if a deal is possible by Thursday’s summit of European Union leaders, told the British Cabinet that the talks were at a crucial stage.
