UK PM Boris Johnson reveals five-point Brexit offer, warns EU of ‘very little time’

He said the plan was a “fair and reasonable compromise”, and talked of a “broad landing zone, in which I believe a deal can begin to take shape”.

Johnson added: “There is very little time … We need to get this done before the October European council.”

In his Conservative party conference speech, earlier today, Johnson suggested his plan involved Northern Ireland leaving the customs union immediately along with the rest of the United Kingdom. This would entail customs checks on Northern Ireland, which Johnson argues can be alleviated through alternative arrangements, including electronic paperwork, and a “very small number” of physical checks, to take place at businesses’ premises.
