'Why is PM Johnson willing to prioritise Brexit against Good Friday agreement' - MP Matheson

Labour MP Christian Matheson has rejected UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's idea on how to solve the Irish border issue.

"Can the Prime Minister not accept that a customs post that is sited 20 miles away from a border still represents a hard border and therefore goes against the Good Friday agreement? Why is he willing to prioritise Brexit against the Good Friday agreement?"

Boris Johnson remained rather vague in his answer. He told Christian Matheson: "Customs checks do not mean customs posts or infrastructure of any kind, as I am sure he appreciates, but if he does not, I am more than happy to share with him our thinking and to explain how it can be done".
