Britain and the EU are to make a final push to get a post-Brexit trade deal over the line following crisis talks between Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen.

In an hour-long phone call, the two leaders agreed to instruct their negotiating teams to resume talks on Sunday in a last attempt to see if they can resolve the remaining differences.
