The UK government announces its legislative agenda

Boris Johnson
  • Brexit bill confirms 31 December 2020 as end of transition period
  • Scottish independence next year would be a damaging distraction
  • Says millions of people, many who have never voted Conservative before, have put their faith in this government

Johnson offering up a reminder that come the end of next year, the UK will either have a comprehensive trade deal with the European Union or it will leave without a deal - putting an end to all the can-kicking since March this year.
