 That may be a genuine element for negotiation. If the N.I. Assembly agreed we they could say freedom of movement applies to eu and N.I. But not GB. Unless DUP block, which is fine.

 Unless I have misunderstood are we saying that the border would be between the island of Ireland and the mainland? I think this was originally what the EU suggested but the DUP would lose their minds over it, makes it seem like Great Britain is a different country, so that's why the backstop applies to all the U.K?
