Demands from Brussels and the Prime Minister’s allies are on Monday’s front pages.
The Independent says the PM has been told he must move “further and faster” when it comes to achieving Brexit by October 31, with EU negotiators demanding more concessions from Mr Johnson to achieve a deal at this week’s summit, according to The Times.

But The Daily Telegraph says the demands have generated “fury” from senior Brexiteers, a line that the i newspaper develops by saying Mr Johnson’s allies have signalled their “unhappiness with proposals on Northern Ireland and customs union”.

The Financial Times takes a different tack, however, suggesting Mr Johnson’s hopes for a “swift” exit from the bloc have been dealt a blow as his “proposals baffle EU”.
