Boris Johnson refuses to confess Brexit truth: EU insists 'there will be checks on goods!'

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has again claimed that there will be no checks on trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland after Brexit.

The prime minister dismissed a leaked document brandished by Jeremy Corbyn last week which suggested that some checks would take place.

Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay has also indicated there will be checks, and fears of a 'border in the Irish Sea' were among the reasons which led the DUP to vote against Mr Johnson's deal.

However, the prime minister told that the leaked documents are wrong and that there was 'no question' of checks taking place unless goods were moving on to the Republic of Ireland.

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said it was "clear" during the Brexit negotiations that there would be checks on goods coming from Great Britain into Northern Ireland, despite claims by Boris Johnson there would be no checks.

Speaking in Brussels, Mr Coveney said: "It was very clear when the deal was done."
