It is the UK "government" that is signalling "we'll accept any deal".

Leo Varadkar spoke to reporters ahead of a meeting with Theresa May at the EU-Arab League joint summit in Egypt.
He described a no-deal Brexit as a "lose-lose-lose scenario for everyone".
He said he believed the UK would either agree a deal with the EU or that Article 50 would be extended rather than a no-deal outcome.

The Republic of Ireland is "not playing chicken" with its stance on the Brexit backstop, Leo Varadkar has warned.
The taoiseach (Irish prime minister) was speaking in Egypt on Sunday as Theresa May attempts to seek changes to her rejected withdrawal agreement.
He reiterated that his government would not accept a time limit on the backstop or a unilateral exit clause for the UK.

Basically it's saying the backstop remains until the EU says otherwise.
