This is all about not allowing the EU to bully us into the submission that May has managed to attain.

So the solution is to do random customs checks miles from the land border?
This is going to be fantastic- UK traders who perhaps aren’t even engaging in cross border trade being inconvenienced for living near the land border on the island of Ireland.
We’ve bullied ourselves into submission by starting off a timebound sequence of events with no coherent plan to reach a destination that we can’t even agree upon.
Conservative politicians arguing over policies they probably don’t even agree with just to position themselves to succeed Theresa May and a Government with no electoral mandate have weakened their negotiating position themselves.
The EU have just had to sit back and watch.
