DUP blow to Johnson plan for Brexit backstop
By EUobserver
UK prime minister Boris Johnson' expected plan to offer a compromise Brexit deal to Brussels this week suffered a setback on Sunday, when Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader, Arlene Foster, told the Conservative Party conference in Manchester that she could not accept any kind of internal customs border within the UK. Foster said her party would however be open to discussing a time-limited backstop.
