An open Irish border is impossible without UK-EU VAT alignment. The House is Commons just voted against UK-EU VAT alignment. Am I missing something?
The House of Commons*
Did all MPs who voted against VAT alignment know what it actually means? The Commons has literally just voted against preserving the invisible Irish border, and technically made it illegal for Theresa May to sign up to a backstop which the whole withdrawal agreement hinges on.
Then again, as @faisalislam has just pointed out, this VAT amendment might be illegal b/c of an amendment passed a few weeks ago! I’m off to bed
