The Brexit deal

According to PM Johnson's statement to media, a great deal of progress has been made since he took on the office. The European Union leaders have also taken the change required in the Withdrawl Agreement to their notice. However, there were still gaps and difficulties like the UK PM wants to remove the 'backstop'. It was an insurance policy aiming at avoiding a hard border on Ireland. It would also lead to Britain following the bloc's rules on trade, state aid, labour, and environmental standards. Whichever way the deal might incline, Ireland remains crucial unless the backstop from Irish border is removed. PM Johnson will not be able to win the majority of lawmakers in the parliament however, Ireland and the European Union are not willing to sign a deal to reach a solution.
