Brexit deal REVEALED: Boris Johnson‘s new divorce agreement ditches the backstop and gives Northern Ireland a vote on ending arrangement – but the DUP have already said they WON‘T support it in crucial Saturday vote

The new plan includes legal changes to Theresa May’s – something Brussels had previously insisted was impossible – with overhauled customs arrangements specifically for Northern Ireland rather than the whole UK.

Downing Street claimed the pact had done away with the Irish border backstop and would allow the whole UK to exploit the opportunities of leaving the EU, without the mainland being bound to Brussels rules or laws.
