Boris Johnson says the Northern Ireland Brexit deal he negotiated is 'turning into a political problem'.
'If somebody asks to do that, tell them to ring up the prime minister and I will direct them to throw that form in the bin' - 8 November 2019
In subsequent negotiations, though, the the need for formal NI-GB customs forms was waived - so this part of the prime minister's promise was met.'There will be no checks on goods going from GB to NI, or NI to GB' - 8 December 2019 He reminded the prime minister that he had told the DUP conference in 2018 that "no British Conservative government could or should sign up" to an arrangement with regulatory checks and customs controls between GB and NI.On 11 May 2022, at a press conference in Sweden, Mr Johnson said that the Good Friday Agreement meant that "things have got to command cross-community support. Plainly the Northern Ireland Protocol fails to do that and we need to sort it out".
