Brexit stand-off 'doesn't end' on October 31, Varadkar warns Johnson

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned British prime minister Boris Johnson that London will still face "years" of talks with the EU even if it forces a no-deal Brexit - saying the stand-off "doesn't end" on October 31.

Mr Varadkar said he is not "fatalistic" about a no-deal Brexit being unavoidable and downplayed the possibility of a border poll as a result of the crisis.
