UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to address the Conservative Party’s annual conference today. There, he’s expected to present a “fair and reasonable compromise” offer on Brexit for EU. His office reiterated that “the prime minister will in no circumstances negotiate a delay” beyond October 31, if the final proposal is not accepted.
What Johnson would offered is reported to be a new “two borders for four years” plan which will leave Northern Ireland in a special relationship with Europe until 2025. It’s reported that Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist party (DUP) is largely “content” with the proposals. However, Ireland’s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the proposals would not provide the basis for a deal with the European Union and are “concerning.”
