TM has the task of selling this to her own party and the DUP. If she does that, it will get through Parliament.

The likes of Rees-Mogg are not as unreasonable as you may think, and if you saw him on Question Time the other week, you would see how much common sense he was speaking.

The Irish border is not the problem that it is portrayed to be. But let's humour those who think otherwise.

The Sky News report in one of the posts above regarding the transport of animals stated:

'Currently 10% of these are screened, but it would have to rise to 100%, Mr Barnier said, adding that these would amount to scanning bar codes on lorries and ferries travelling between the two.'

So, what is to stop checks from being carried out on the farms themselves rather than at the border? The bar code would be scanned at both ends, and lorries could be pulled over anywhere within the island of Ireland for a spot check. Doesn't have to be at the border at all.

There are solutions available. The EU just needs to stop being bloody minded.

If we maintained the Customs Union, we could not do the trade deals that makes leaving the EU a viable proposition. So as Maggie would have said, "No. No. No."
