Re: Britain outside the EU
The statement from Ireland's Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney that the EU is: “negotiating with a partner it simply can’t trust” [BoJo's Government] is bad news for the UK. He's a very measured individual.

The Irish have been the least hawkish towards the UK of any EU 27 country. If Frost and BoJo have brought Dublin to this point, then the EU will only take a stronger approach with the UK.

The influence of the Irish on the US should not be underestimated either. The Democrats view the Good Friday Agreement as a great foreign policy achievement and will defend it robustly. And now Ireland is reaching out to the US.

The Government is to seek an urgent meeting with the Friends of Ireland Group in the US Congress about London’s move.

It was agreed at a meeting of the Cabinet’s Brexit subcommittee on Thursday that Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney would reach out to the influential bipartisan group on the issue.
