| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:14.5 | Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you, and these talks continue. |
| 0:20.5 | I mean, good grief. All right, |
| 0:23.3 | hand on art. I did think we'd get a result yesterday. I wouldn't want to put money on what it was going to be. |
| 0:28.3 | I leaned still a little closer to no deal than I do towards flimsy deal. But probably, yeah, |
| 0:36.3 | probably a little bit closer today than I did on Friday for the very simple reason. |
| 0:40.5 | No, closer to flimsy deal today than to no deal. |
| 0:43.6 | For the very simple reason that, you know, until the axe falls, until the whistle goes, anything can happen on the pitch, can't it? |

| 1:35.0 | the Wallonia region of Belgium, and such as the democratic exercise that you, or control that you can |
| 1:42.3 | exercise, you could scupper the entire deal, as the |
| 1:44.9 | Canadians briefly discovered. But hey, host, too late to relitigate those lies, isn't it, about |
| 1:50.8 | not having any power and not having any control? But if we do a no deal, then negotiations |
| 1:55.6 | presumably start all over again. It's the idea of not having any trading arrangements in place with our, by far, |
