There are apologists for the EU on this thread who defend the obvious intention of the EU to squeeze the most out of Brexit that they can at the UK's expense rather than supporting a campaign to stand up to the EU and send them into a spin over the 39 billion etc.
It is very clear to me that it has been the EU's plan, at the behest of the perfidious Irish government, to carve Ulster out of the UK. The Draft Agreement does little to thwart that.

I’ve always said N.I. Would be the alter on which Brexit is sacrificed. No N.I. Issue no problem for a hard border, no need for a CU backstop to avoid it.
I think this agreement is a good place to “start” negotiations not finish them.
It would be interesting to see if we went back to the EU, with some amendments that would definitely see the agreement passed, if they would change, with the alternative being no deal. Make some changes bat it back over to them see what they do.
