  • The Good Friday Agreement
  • Financial liabilities already agreed to

Putting any one or more of the above at risk brings everything to a grinding halt. The agreement already proposed but knocked back covered these priorities of course, for better or for worse.
Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and that includes the £39bn.

All we need is a Canada style trade deal and given that the EU have already said we can have that, it won't be so difficult to get an agreement to negotiate that which will satisfy GATT.
