UK: Varadkar headed for backstop showdown with new British PM (Irish
Independent)
- Ireland is on a collision course with the new occupant of Downing Street as
Leo Varadkar seeks urgent talks with the incoming British prime minister on the
backstop.
- It is widely expected that Boris Johnson will be confirmed today as the new UK
premier.
- A number of sources in Dublin told the Irish Independent they believe Mr
Johnson is not as committed to a disorderly Brexit as portrayed.
- However, they believe the message that the EU will not cave on the backstop
"needs to be hammered home" to the new prime minister.
