As more and more people are realising it's not because this cannot be resolved it's because senior figures in the EU want a punishment based deal to try and scare anyone else from leaving the EU in the future.

It's great to have critical MEPs providing they're constructive and actually turn up.
It's not a punishment, it's a fact of WTO rules that require borders to be enforced. That's why Brextremists who suggest Ireland should leave the EU and enter into a customs union with the UK make more sense than people putting their head in the sand and say the EU is being difficult over Ireland.

That would result in the end of the UK and the end of the Government, as it's supported by the DUP. Apart from that, it's a goer.
