Withold payment until we get a trade deal

Withold payment until we get a trade deal. Replace the backstop with a full trade agreement, with an extended transition
So Johnson and Malthouse - they were chums when Johnson was Mayor of London - both want much the same thing. Renegotiate the withdrawal agreement, withhold money until they get a trade agreement, and Europe obliged to solve the Irish border.
No wonder this pair of Bunters pissed away hundreds of millions on water pistols.
