I'm seated on Johnson's right; on his left is a young woman I know. More wine is poured; more wine is drunk. Under the table I feel Johnson's hand on my thigh. He gives it a squeeze. His hand is high up my leg and he has enough inner flesh beneath his fingers to make me sit suddenly upright.

This is a shocking, but sadly all too familiar, story.

What is it about powerful men feeling entitled to harass women?

Boris Johnson has serious questions to answer. #Marr https://t.co/NT7dxrY9t5

Here is the quote from Arlene Foster, the DUP leader, telling a fringe at the party conference that her party would consider agreeing to a time-limited Irish backstop. (See 5.20pm.) Foster said:

In terms of the time-limited backstop, can I remind you what Leo Varadkar thinks of the time-limited backstop - he says it is not a backstop at all.

And so in terms of the time-limited backstop we have said in the past it is something we would look at.

We cannot have internal customs borders within the United Kingdom ... it has constitutional implications as well as economic implications.

Actually when you think of the amount of trade we does east-west and west-east it completely blows out of the water the North-South trade.
