He said it will lead to regulatory controls in Irish Sea, 'serious & visible frictions' with EU and 'no security co-operation provided for'

'We should not forget that the backstop world, even with a UK-EU customs union, is a bad outcome with regulatory controls needed somewhere between GB and NI, serious and visible frictions and process between GB and the EU, and no security co-operation provided for'
While both sides are required to make 'best endeavours' - acting in good faith - to a deal, this does not place EU under any legal 'obligation'
He effectively said there is no guarantee we can get out.
‘This only makes a stronger case for MPs to see the AGs full legal advice before being asked to vote on this terrible deal’
