Britain’s relatively new Prime Minister Boris Johnson is getting heat from all quarters of the EU at the G7 summit in Biarittz.

Johnson is set to meet Donald Tusk tomorrow to hold by the EU are describing as “serious talks”.

Tusk said today in Biarittz that Mr Johnson “will be the third British Conservative prime minister with whom I will discuss Brexit.

“The EU was always open to co-operation when David Cameron wanted to avoid Brexit, when Theresa May wanted to avoid a no-deal Brexit and we will also be ready now to hold serious talks with Prime Minister Johnson.

“One thing I will not co-operate on is no deal. I still hope that Prime Minster Johnson will not like to go down in history as ‘Mr No-Deal’.

“We are willing to listen to ideas that are operational, realistic and acceptable to all member states including Ireland, if and when the UK government is ready to put them on the table.”

But Boris Johnson has claimed that he’s well able to make a deal happen and that if there is another border imposed on the island of Ireland that the UK won’t be doing it.
