@Nigel_Farage: Irish Border may need border checks #Brexit #BBCNolan

The Brexit Secretary David Davis has said the UK will agree to a 'backstop' text for the Irish border, but not the one proposed by the EU.

In February it was proposed Northern Ireland stay in the customs union or single market if there was no other way to maintain a soft border.

The UK has accepted the need for a backstop to be written into the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

EU leaders have given the go ahead for talks to begin on a post-Brexit trade deal with the U.K.
