UK: PM strikes secret deal with DUP as he draws up 'final Brexit offer'
(Guardian):
- Boris Johnson has struck a secret deal with the Democratic Unionist party
involving radical proposals for a Belfast-Dublin "bilateral lock" on post-Brexit
arrangements on the island of Ireland.
- Details have emerged of the prime minister's final Brexit offer that he will
lay out on Wednesday, with Northern Ireland staying under EU single market
regulations for agri-food and manufactured goods until at least 2025, at which
point its assembly in Stormont will decide whether to continue alignment with EU
or UK standards.
- Johnson set up a high-stakes fortnight of talks with a threat that he will
press ahead with a no-deal exit if the EU27 fails to engage with his plans.
