My real gripe is with the Remainist TM who never stood up to them early on.
The Irish border thing is a feint and not a good faith item; it is the EU playing the GFA and bugging up the risk of terrorism. But this is being done for the sake of the Irish economy. With that in the balance along with the 39 billion, we could have plaid stronger cards.

The Irish position is important because however much people are blaming them for the border issue they've not said how they would solve it.
Do you have a border or do you not? If you do not then how do you manage the import and export of goods when you don't want a customs union? You could put a border in the Irish Sea, the EU agreed to that idea but the DUP didn't.
