Johnson doesn't want a no-deal Brexit but can live with it
With the Dec. 31 expiry of the transition period fast approaching, Johnson and the head of the EU’s executive, Ursula von der Leyen, agreed in a phone call on Saturday to step up negotiations on a post-Brexit deal.
“I think the people of this country have had enough ... of being told that this will be impossible or intolerable. I think we can prosper mightily under those circumstances.” That prompted accusations from the opposition that ministers were setting up industry to take the blame for any chaos that might follow a botched Brexit.
