Varadkar spoke with Johnson

Comments from Varadkar's spokesman:

  • Told Johnson he would study proposals further
  • Said he would consult with EU institutions and EU partners
  • Said he wants to see UK deal agreed and ratified
  • Agreed to speak again next week

I think Johnson and his camp are planning a full-on offensive against Varadkar if he grandstands. Farange has already started singling him out.
