I can only surmise, but I think both sides are hyping it up and that there is a way through this that will satisfy the EU, the DUP and the Brexiteers. If the deal clarifies that we will still be able to trade with the EU without tariffs with the Irish border issue agreed, I can see no reason why the Labour ranks won't be split either.

Obviously, we will have to wait and see, but I suspect that a lot of this is just for show.

If there is not clarity on ending the Customs Union, however, I cannot see how that would get through, because it would mean no new trade deals and an end to the advantage that Brexit would give us.

If it was played right and with goodwill on both sides, it would be.

1. A 'no tariff' deal between the UK and the EU.

2. An agreement on ending the customs union while putting in place measures to resolve the NI issue without alienating the DUP.

Over 80% of everything is already agreed by negotiators on both sides - these are the remaining issues, which right minded people should be capable of resolving.
