Invoking remainers is nothing but whataboutery. The EU rationally negotiated, in it’s own interests. Something that should have come as a shock to absolutely no-one.

No arguing with that. A pity that we didn't just walk away.
It would have hurt them because of the exit fee and damage to Ireland's economy (the perfidious Varadkar, remember).
