I ve got what I wanted - we ve left! | Julia Hartley-Brewer and Lord Adonis talk post-Brexit deal

President Macron has suggested extending the post-Brexit trade talks beyond 1st January, as the deadline drawers closer, and remain campaigner Lord Andrew Adonis supports the idea: "I don t think there s any point in accelerating over the edge of the cliff if there s a chance to stop the car, get out and talk." Speaking to Julia Hartley-Brewer, the former Labour Transport Secretary said "people think we re in a shotgun situation" when it comes to a post-Brexit trade deal. "If there is an opportunity to remove the shotgun and allow the talking to continue then it sounds to me that would be good for both sides." Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen will assess whether a post-Brexit trade deal can be salvaged following a weekend of tense negotiations. The two leaders will speak on Monday evening - their second call in a little over 48 hours - after their top negotiators spent Sunday locked in detailed talks.
