Exclusive: Brexit talks at risk of collapse as British cabinet ministers brand EU compromise on Irish border 'unacceptable' independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
I would actually wager that May will try to sign up to something like the EU compromise in this piece in the end.
Whatever the spin on the deal that comes out, the unavoidable fact is that what the EU fundamentally wants out of the backstop is fundamentally out of line with the U.K. position.
EU won’t accept not having a legally binding backstop that keeps NI in line with customs union and single market rules, UK official line is that they won’t accept it, but I suspect May will settle for a political promise the backstop will never come into play.
And as you see from the piece, there are people in her cabinet let alone the parliamentary party who will see that as quite a betrayal. We’re coming to crunch point.
