BJ said, on 8 November 2019, that
So o or around 21 October 2019 BJ knew that his deal would cause difficulties in trade between NI and GB, but on 8 November he said there would not be any checks on goods going between NI and GB.
BJ was to appear on the BBC program Would I Lie to You, but it's been decided that guests must be reliable to tell the truth as well as being able to lie convincingly. So his appearance has been cancelled.
"There will not be checks on goods going from NI to GB," Boris Johnson tells Conservative supporters"

On 17 October 2019 Boris Johnson was in ebullient form.
He had just sealed the Brexit withdrawal deal with the EU.
Just four days after Mr Johnson's Brussels triumph, the Department for Exiting the EU (DExEU) had produced an analysis of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill.
It is that piece of work which shows that the problems with the Irish Sea border were foreseen virtually from the moment the deal was signed.
The DExEU civil servants produced a prescient study that almost precisely describes the issues which have come into sharp focus over the past week.
