Not sure that the backstop is legal in terms of Article 50 and the Withdrawal Agreement. The WA is an optional interim phase to LEAVING. The backstop is not interim, and at the very least extends beyond the period covered by the WA. Any backstop related issues are the subject of the SECOND SEPARATE deal/agreement.
