In full: Boris Johnson interview from Luxembourg with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49717554

The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg sat down for an interview with Prime Minister Boris Johnson after his meeting with the European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker.

Here is the full transcript of what they said.

Laura Kuenssberg: You've just been with [European Commission president] Jean-Claude Juncker.

Boris Johnson: Yes. I mean obviously I've talked to him several times since becoming prime minister, but he's... I've known Jean-Claude for many, many years and he is a very, highly, highly intelligent guy and I think that he would like to get a deal if we possibly can, but clearly it's going to take some work.
