It also has to play hard ball and back Ireland because if its perceived that a participating member was screwed over for one leaving things would start to disintegrate quite fast.

Absolutely.

Surprise surprise DUP say they can't back the deal

Boggles

The DUP were never going to back it.

Boris has obviously learned he might as well be talking to a dust bin so he has decided to ignore them.

In your opinion.
To me, the fact they can place 25% tariffs on scotch whiskey and lean on the UK to ensure a person who did not have diplomatic immunity to be given it after her killing a teenager says a lot about who has all the power in that special relationship. Good luck with that one UK!

can you provide something to prove she did not have diplomatic immunity please. you seem certain that she didn't, so it must be easy to prove.

dude, go and read up about the trade sanctions being imposed by the US. They have targeted certain high level commodities to impose $7.5bn in tariffs on EU exporters. Single Malt Scottish whisky is a big commodity export to the US, far bigger than Irish whisky.

Yawn, all you pro-brexiters are really high strung.

Can you please define the parameters of the discussion you would like us to keep within?

Alternatively if we say something you think is stupid how about you just ignore it rather than coming in throwing shade.

May did exactly the same thing to them...twice.

Now they seem to be losing their support in the ERG who see their own bright shiny thing to grab.

One day you have to hope they might learn.

Yeah, and they'll likely slap this down, but the EU is negotiating with the UK and not the DUP. The DUP's opinion only really matters with the vote in the Commons if Johnson's decided to sideline them during negotiations.

A deal could still have been reached, no matter how much Foster's against it.

Arlene can slap whoever she wants.

New Brexit deal agreed says Boris. Will DUP be sidestepped?

Nigel of the upside down smile seems to think there's a unionist veto in play.

And people call Boris an idiot! Took the EU right to the edge and called there bluff, I never believed for a second there would be a no deal, the consequences were good for no one.

The one he resigned as foreign secretary over?

Really?

What are the key differences between this deal and the deal May signed off on?

Somedaythefire

Would assume the EU called Boris' bluff to be quite honest. If we're talking like that. The deal will be close to the deal May was given.

It's much worse than that one.

It will be a struggle, but there seem to be some cracks in the ERG's hitherto steadfast support for the DUP. To be honest, I never believed it was anything more than convenient for them: Boris should be able to placate them.

The ERG don't give a stuff about NI and they won't be letting NI get in the way of the sunny uplands for the Great British People!
