Johnson unveils alternative Brexit plan to Brussels

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made a new Brexit offer to Brussels to replace the Irish backstop. Under the deal, the current backstop in the UK EU Withdrawal Treaty would be abolished, and replaced with a mixture of checks at ports on the Irish Sea and away from the border in Ireland. Mr Johnson has implored the EU to engage with his new place, warning a no-deal Brexit would represent a “failure of statecraft for which we would all be responsible”. Image: AP
