First picture of Boris Johnson heading into crunch talks with Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar

Boris Johnson was spotted arriving at Thornton Manor for his crunch talks with Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

Boris' distinctive blonde locks can be seen in the photo, as he steps through the doors at the Wirral manor to meet his Irish counterpart.

The Prime Minister looked to be wearing a blue suit as he entered the hall, surrounded by aides and security personnell.

After the ECHO shared footage of Mr Johnson's motorcade arriving at the popular wedding venue, protesters opposed to Brexit appeared to make their views clear.

Police arrived at the scene shortly after as people waved flags and shouted "are you gonna run away again, Boris?" gathered outside the gates of the luxury retreat.

The talks represent one of the last chances for some kind of resolution ahead of October 31, when many fear a no-deal Brexit will be inevitable.

Responding to Mr Johnson's arrival, Labour Wirral South MP Alison McGovern tweeted: "The Prime Minister's meeting today is taking place just a few miles from Vauxhall Motors, Ellesmere Port and Airbus at Broughton.

"He should take a few minutes whilst he is here to explain to those who work there why he has put their livelihoods at risk with his No Deal #Brexit."
