The prime minister appears ready to sign up the first standalone post-Brexit trade deal with Australia. But it’s sending jitters through many rural communities.

The SNP's leader in Westminster, Ian Blackford, has said Boris Johnson is prepared "to throw farmers and crofters under the Brexit bus" in his bid to secure a trade deal with Australia.

He urged the PM to rule out giving Australia tariff - or tax-free - access for its lamb and beef products.

The prime minister replied that an agreement with Australia would be a "massive opportunity" for UK farmers.
