Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen in make or break Brexit call

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen are expected to hold an emergency phone call today in a last ditch attempt to reach an agreement on a trade deal.

Talks in London between the UK and EU chief negotiators had failed to reach any agreement citing “significant divergences on level playing field, governance, and fisheries”.
