The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has denied that his Brexit deal will lead to a trade barrier between Northern Ireland and Britain.
Mr Johnson was responding to UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in last night's final televised debate ahead of next week's General Election.
Mr Corbyn cited confidential Treasury documents which he says show there will be customs checks between Northern Ireland and Britain under Mr Johnson's exit deal.
However, this was rejected by the Prime Minister.
Mr Corbyn warned of "chaos" and "huge job losses" if the Tory leader could not secure a free-trade deal with the EU by the end of the year.
Mr Johnson said his deal will allow fresh talks to happen and end uncertainty.
The two leaders clashed in the BBC debate on issues ranging from the NHS to terrorism and antisemitism in the Labour Party.
NHS documents
Meanwhile, it emerged this morning that classified documents detailing trade talks between US and UK officials regarding the future of the NHS are tied to a previous Russian disinformation campaign, according to internet discussion site Reddit.
The documents were cited by Mr Corbyn as evidence of what he said were "secret talks" to sell off the NHS.
The documents first appeared in a post on Reddit in October and the site has now said it believes it is "part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia".
It said it had also identified more accounts which had used "vote manipulation" to promote the original post.
A UK government spokesperson said: "Online platforms should take responsibility for content posted on them, and we welcome the action Reddit have taken today."
Labour refused to discuss where it obtained the documents but maintains they reveal a damaging picture of Mr Johnson's intentions.
"These documents reveal the plot against our NHS," said a spokesman.
