Brexit bill to block further delay

With Brexit almost certain to happen next month - But little changing in practice as we enter a transition period - The Beyond the end of 2020. Until then, the UK will broadly follow EU rules while negotiators attempt to thrash out a future trade deal. Currently, the parties are able to extend that transition by up to two years. But the government says it intends to rule that out by amending the Withdrawal Agreement Bill The Commons is set to vote on This Week .

It is designed to underline to Leave voters who backed Boris Johnson 's Conservatives for the First Time that he is determined to deliver Brexit, says our political correspondent Iain Watson. "Government sources say having a hard deadline will also focus the minds of both sets of negotiators on achieving a deal," he adds. Critics argue this raises the chance of leaving the EU without a trade deal. Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer describes The Move as "reckless and irresponsible", saying the Prime Minister is "prepared to put people's jobs At Risk ".

Out of university halls and into homelessness

By Alice Porter, BBC Victoria Derbyshire programme

More Than 8,000 university students in the UK are estranged from their families, figures show. They often experience severe financial difficulties, loneliness and even homelessness during The Holidays . Cereza, a student at Queen Mary University of London, describes her childhood as very difficult. Leaving for university, she says, was the "final thing that tore My Family apart".

At the end of The Academic year, she says she had to move her belongings alone, using a shopping trolley. "I just ended up couch surfing, just trying to survive, just trying to find The Money to eat," she says, recalling how she stayed at eight different friends' houses during One Summer holiday.

What the papers say

Some papers lead on what The Times calls a "tough new line" from Boris Johnson on EU trade talks, which are set to begin once the UK has left in the EU at the end of January. However, in ruling out an extension to the transition period - which currently keeps UK-EU arrangements broadly as they are throughout 2020 to give businesses time to Adjust - the Prime Minister "raises fears of a cliff-edge next year", says the Financial Times.
