I met with Prime Minister Johnson in Cheshire on 10 October. We had detailed and constructive discussions on the current situation which concentrated on the challenges of customs and consent. It was clear that we both continue to believe a deal is in everybody’s interest and we agreed that we could see a pathway to a possible deal.
We also discussed the potential to strengthen bilateral relations, including on Northern Ireland. We agreed to reflect further on our discussions and that officials would continue to engage intensively on them.
Following our discussions, I consulted with the EU Task Force and the UK Brexit Secretary met Michel Barnier the following morning.
