Boris Johnson urges EU to respond to 'compromise' offer on Brexit deal

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has laid out details of his plan for a "fair and reasonable" Brexit compromise and will tell the European Union it is a final offer.

In a speech on Wednesday at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, the prime minister warned that three-and-a-half years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU, not delivering on the result of the referendum would bring grave consequences for trust in democracy.

Johnson said that "we can, we must and we will" get Brexit done - because voters feel they are being "taken for fools" by Westminster. He has insisted again that the UK will leave the EU without an agreement at the end of the month if a new deal can't be reached.
