Boris Johnson demands EU back down: Brexit

Bloomberg

Boris Johnson outlined his plan for a new Brexit agreement and warned the European Union to compromise or watch the UK walk away from talks and leave the bloc without a deal.
The UK prime minister declared that Britain is “ready”
to break away from the EU without an agreement in four weeks’ time, if officials in Brussels do not back down.
In his first keynote speech as prime minister at his Conservative Party’s conference, Johnson said his team is putting forward details of his “constructive and reasonable” blueprint in Brussels.
“I hope very much that our friends understand that and compromise in their turn,” Johnson told his audience
in Manchester, England. “Because if we fail to get an agreement because of what is essentially a technical discussion of the exact nature of future customs checks, when that technology is improving the whole time, then let us be in no doubt that the alternative is no deal.
