UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed in the Conservatives’ annual conference that he’s tabled his “fair and reasonable compromise” to the EU. And warned that if EU doesn’t accept it, the alternative is no-deal Brexit. He said, “We are tabling what I believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides. Let us be in no doubt that the alternative is no deal.”
Johnson noted that the proposals involve no checks at or near the Irish border. And, “By a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and assembly of Northern Ireland. We will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and other businesses on both sides of the border.” No further details were given.
