Brexit briefing: How long until the end of the transition period?

Look out world: liberal legal eagle Kim Kardashian is on a mission. The reality star – about to take her first bar exam – spoke about her desire to reform the US criminal justice system as she simultaneously launched a new line of shapewear. Boris Johnson better hope the unstoppable Kardashian doesn’t turn her attention to the UK. The prime minister is hoping to rush through emergency legislation to keep terror offenders in jail longer. But he had better shape up. Johnson must hurry if he wants to get it done by the end of the month before more of those prisoners are up for automatic release. I’m Adam Forrest, and welcome to The Independent’s daily Inside Politics briefing.
