We have to stay in the SM and the CU or create a hard border across Ireland
We cannot stay in the SM and not accept Freedom of Movement of people, capital, goods, and services.
We cannot accept Freedom of Movement of people (even though that was not on the ballot).
The EU won't agree to anything unless we allow EU citizens living here to be able to apply to continue to stay. We can't just throw them all out as many of my colleagues would like to.
I have told the EU that we don't care how badly it damages our economy and international standing, we need to stop people like them coming here freely.
That thing with the cake was a bit mean.
As long as you don't come here, we can still remain friends
