The U.K. leader tells his party conference that it is time to get Britain out of the European Union in his keynote speech in Manchester.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed his first Conservative Party conference on Wednesday with a promise to deliver Brexit that would "avoid checks at or near the border in Northern Ireland."
"Voters are desperate for us to focus on their other priorities — what people want, what leavers want, what remainers want, what the whole world wants — is to move on," he said before adding: "That is why we are coming out of the EU on October 31. Let's get Brexit done — we can, we must, and we will," Johnson added.
The prime minister added that his deal "will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and other businesses on both sides of the border."
