Brexit Blame Game Heats Up

The transcript discusses the ongoing Brexit negotiations, highlighting the challenges faced by Boris Johnson in reaching a deal with the EU, particularly concerning Northern Ireland's customs union status. A phone call between Johnson and Angela Merkel did not go well, with Merkel's demands seen as a barrier to a deal. Talks continue, but no resolution is in sight. Johnson's government is preparing for a no-deal Brexit, with a report outlining steps for businesses and consumers.
