"Michel Barnier has torpedoed Boris Johnson’s promise that Brexit will be done and dusted by the end of next year.
The Sunday Mirror has seen minutes of a private meeting between the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator and MEPs which rubbish the PM’s pledge.
Mr Johnson has said he will not extend the transition period beyond 2020 – which raises the danger of the UK crashing out with no deal.
Trade talks are planned after Britain formally leaves the EU on January 31.
But Mr Barnier told EU Employment and Social Affairs Committee MEPs: “The EU/UK future relationship cannot be settled in 11 months.”
He added that means prioritising some areas while more time will be needed for other issues such as transport."
