Looks like head on collision with EU. Brussels says U.K. agreed to an “all weather backstop” so it cannot have a time limit and must be written in to the withdrawal agreement ie NOW - during transition which is AFTER Brexit day. See my blog: bbc.com/news/world-eur…
So far EU has been willing to soften language but not legal requirements of backstop. So now what? #Brexit
To the EU May’s hardening on backstop looks again like her putting her party and her survival as PM ahead of negotiating an agreement with Brussels and avoiding a no deal #Brexit
EU open to idea of U.K. wide customs union as a backstop BUT says can’t be negotiated in time to complete withdrawal agreement this autumn. Can mention customs union in withdrawal as intention but EU views the Northern Ireland specific backstop as the only ready to go solution
Word ‘not’ missing here. NOT after transition has started - which is after Brexit day. Note to self: Do not #Brexit tweet and walk at same time
