British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed Tuesday that Britain will make firm proposals for a new divorce deal with the European Union within days, saying "this is the moment when the rubber hits the road."
Johnson said details would be disclosed "very soon."
He didn't say what Britain's proposed alternative is. So far the UK has floated the idea of a common area for livestock and agricultural products, plus largely untested "technological solutions."
Simon Coveney called the idea a "non-starter" and tweeted: "Time the EU had a serious proposal from the UK Govt if a #Brexit deal is to be achievable in October. NI and IRE deserves better!"
But Johnson has shrugged off suggestions that his strong language could incite violence and suggested the personal allegations against him were motivated by people who wanted to "frustrate Brexit."
