The UK Prime Minister is set to tell his counterparts in the European Union that they must agree a Brexit deal in just over five weeks or accept a no-deal exit.

Boris Johnson is due to warn the European trading bloc that "there needs to be an agreement... by the time of the European Council on 15 October if it’s going to be in force by the end of the year".
