British PM Boris Johnson and his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar say they can see a 'pathway' to reaching a Brexit deal after meeting for last-ditch talks
Ireland's Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar and Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson pose for a photograph at Thornton Manor Hotel, near Birkenhead, north-west England as they met for Brexit talks, October 10, 2019
"Both continue to believe that a deal is in everybody's interest," they said in a joint statement. "They agreed that they could see a pathway to a possible deal." Under a UK proposal, there would have to be customs checks on some goods, though not on the border itself. The EU says any customs checks are unacceptable.
In recent days, Britain and the EU have traded bad-tempered barbs about who is responsible for the deadlock in talks.
