In doing so we will strengthen our union and we will not extend the implementation period beyond December 2020.”   Last week, Labour released a leaked Treasury report that said customs checks and possibly even tariffs could be required on goods travelling in both directions between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.  But Mr Johnson told Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme that the report was "wrong" and added that the six counties would have "unfettered access" to the UK market.  That is despite public documents saying there will be declarations at least on goods going east to west.  Critics fear there is no chance of a trade deal by December 2020 so Britain will plunge into a no-deal Brexit.  Yet Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak has said there is no need for further no-deal Brexit planning.  Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme
