UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday proposed a new Brexit plan aimed at removing the need for customs checks at the Irish border, calling the EU-backed approach a “bridge to nowhere”.

Johnson’s plan says “goods movements between Northern Ireland and Ireland will be notified using a declaration”, with physical checks conducted at traders’ premises and not at EU member Ireland’s border with British Northern Ireland.
