UK PM Boris Johnson says his Brexit plans would address contentious issue of how to keep open Britain's border with Ireland
The British prime minister called for EU to embrace compromise with UK's new proposal at the Conservative Party conference. EU lawmaker says Johnson's speech"doesn't bode well."
Johnson said an alternative to a "compromise for both sides" –– which included no customs checks "at or near" the Northern Irish border –– was for Britain to leave without a deal, "an outcome for which we are ready.
"He claims to love Europe, to embrace Europe. By leaving it," Lamberts told Reuters. "How can this be serious? ... There is no reason to be reassured by this." But Juncker's spokeswoman said Brussels has yet to see the legal text of the plan and warned that any deal must meet "all the objectives of the backstop", referring to the mechanism designed to avoid a hard border between Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland.
