UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said it's time to "get ready" for the prospect of no free trade deal with the EU on 1 January.

He claimed Brussels had "abandoned" the ambition.

However he has insisted that it was always known that there would be changes next year once the transition period ends - and that was with whatever the relationship with the EU ended up being.

Former Conservative MP and columnist with The Times Matthew Parris joined Kieran on Friday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to tell him what he thinks might happen next.
