You can file that one next to "No more negotiations", "no changes to the withdrawal agreement" and "of course i'm sober".

The best comment today comes from Dominic Raab
"Northern Ireland has a brilliant deal because they will have continued frictionless trade with the EU."

So why are the rest of the UK leaving if trading with the EU is brilliant

didn't he realise we are leaving the EU?
WHAT A PLONKER!!

Apparently, he needs to explain the deal to the DUP then! They are implacably opposed to it, and don't see these apparent benefits! Mind you, their issue is with identity (it always is) rather than economic practicality (although they also say that the deal is BAD for the economy) The business community say different on that issue!

Seems to me the DUP - unless I have read this wrong - have an issue with the consent principle, as it is a cross community vote in the Assembly (if there ever is one again) that will determine whether we stick with the EU regulations, rather than a straight vote! Some seem to think they wish to retain a solely 'unionist veto?? Even I - as a unionist - see how untenable that is!!

Even the EU have come to the realisation that the UK are not changing their mind and are leaving. There needs to be an end point to this and I hope MP's put politics aside and vote to get this deal through and move the country forward

^ Shouldn't we wait and see who wins the next election.
If Boris wins then he would probably have a majority and Brexit could be voted through. But if he doesn't then we may be having a referendum.
