Irish taoiseach Leo Varadkar warned British prime minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday he had until the end of next week to come up with a concrete plan on alterations to the Irish backstop question, in order for any ideas to be discussed at the EU summit starting 17 October. Vardadkar, speaking in New York, said the EU needed "proposals in writing really in the first week of October."
