At Jeremy Corbyn press conference in Central London. Not been told what it’s about but Keith Starmer is here, so probs Brexit-related. He’s not been seen much with JC during this campaign. 
NEW: Jeremy Corbyn holds up what he says is a 15 page document of “cold hard evidence” showing the impact of Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal on Northern Ireland.
Like the NHS document revealed by JC, us journalists haven’t been given a copy ahead of this press conference. Hard to look at it in real detail before we get chance to ask questions.
Jeremy Corbyn says this document shows there will be customs declaration checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
Here’s the document Jeremy Corbyn revealed. I got to ask him my question 10 seconds after receiving it.
Slide 5: Labour says this HM Treasury document shows “potential fetters on access between GB and NI.” Labour says “there is no way the question marks (next to a Free Trade Agreement) would turn into anything else than further restrictions.”
Slide 8: Claims to show damage to NI economy with the Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.
With 6 days left, Labour pulling the focus back on to Brexit, arguably their shakiest ground, and the Tory’s strongest.
On NI, Boris Johnson said: "There will be no forms, no checks, no barriers of any kind. You will have unfettered access."
Treasury document provided by Labour appears to contradict that claim, and confirm what his own Northern Ireland and Brexit Secretaries have previously said.

In response the Conservatives say Labour’s leaked Treasury document was compiled by “junior civil servants” and was never seen by the PM or Ministers. They claim it's an “initial assessment” and not a final report on Boris Johnson's Brexit deal.
