Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
I don’t see how the DUP rejecting everything is in the long term interests of the union. Northern Ireland now has a way out of the backstop and they’re still not happy because they don’t have a veto themselves.

They're being difficult because they know the more they dig their heels in now the quicker the magic money tree will grow another branch or two - like everyone else they realise as soon as there's a general election they'll be kicked in to the grass if the Conservatives win an overall majority. You can't blame them.

It is worth remembering DUP did not support the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement and we all know what happened there.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
Surely it's now Brexit extension and election? The DUP have pushed their luck too far.

But Boris Johnson said he would rather "die in a ditch" then ask for another extension.

It’s not over ‘til it’s over.

He's got a strong hand though to extend. He's arguably proven the "he's not interested in a deal" doubters wrong.
"Back me. We leave. With a deal. I've literally shook hands with Barnier and Tusk on it. Let's get Brexit done."
More time is required to get the legislation in place anyway.

But it’s a deal worse than the one he resigned over, and voted against?
(Allegedly- it’s on the news now that the EU member states haven’t seen it yet, and it’s hundreds of pages long, which will need checking).

The public at large in a general election arguably won't care for the detail on that level. I'm sure he can find a way to spin that it's a better deal, allows Britain to move on but respect the GFA.

We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
DUP still haven’t approved it so No 10 are piling the pressure on
