Sunday shows round-up: Does the EU have the ‘political will’ to do a deal?

Dominic Raab: The ‘bar is quite high’ for EU trade talks to continue

Today had been marked out as the critical deadline date by which a post-Brexit trade deal with the EU must be substantially agreed, or else there would be no deal. A discussion between Boris Johnson and the EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen was scheduled for this lunchtime to try to thrash out the last minute disagreements. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab joined Andrew Marr, and told him that trade talks could continue beyond the end of the day, but only if the political discussion was fruitful:

AM: If we don’t get an agreement by the end of today… are we out without a deal?

DR: It depends… What really matters is the political will.
