• UK.Boris Johnson admits that the "reality" of Brexit may force customs controls in Ireland

Premier Boris Johnson will propose to unblock the Brexit negotiation with a specific solution for Northern Ireland, which would be aligned with the single market for agricultural and manufactured products of the European Union until 2025.

Johnson will launch his proposal in the closing speech of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, where he will warn that he intends to fulfill his goal of leaving the EU on October 31 without an agreement if Brussels does not accept his plan, alternative to the controversial " safeguard "to avoid the return to the hard border between the two Irlandas.

Johnson secured support for his proposal from the Unionist Democratic Party (DUP), which until now opposed a solution for Northern Ireland different from that of the rest of the United Kingdom, considering it jeopardized the territorial integrity of the country

The conservative premier has not only won the support of the ten DUP parliamentarians but has also initiated an approach to a long thirty Labor MPs who could support the Westminster agreement and challenge their own leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Johnson's proposal also includes a "Dublin-Belfast insurance" to be able to prolong the alignment with the single market beyond 2025 and to grant powers to the local Stormont Assembly over the future status of Northern Ireland.

However , Johnson's plan would not completely eliminate the need for customs controls between the two Irlandas. The premier acknowledged on Tuesday that the "reality" of Brexit will surely require "some kind of control, but without the need for infrastructure."

The proposal would also involve the implementation, at the end of the transition period in 2020, of "two borders in four years": one between the two Irlandas and one between the Ulster and the rest of the United Kingdom in the Irish Sea. Dublin's initial response has not been positive and the 27 are expected to also express their reservations.

The premier will close the Manchester conference, under the slogan "Carry out Brexit", launching the ordago to Brussels and its own Parliament, and warning that the next 48 will be crucial to reach an agreement.
