Dominic Raab admits he hasn't read the Good Friday Agreement in full, saying it's not like you think, "Do you know what, this is a cracking read."
Raab says he always "studiously tried to avoid giving too much detail" when giving evidence to the Select Committee. (Look out for Kate Hoey's body language and sigh during Lady Hermon's question.)
Hoey asks if the EU will now be "more realistic" and consider solutions like sending all traffic to "frontstop" processing centres in the UK.
Raab says the EU is too "inward looking" and the Swiss and US borders show "global practice".
(NB they are hard borders.)

Raab complains that the EU don't see Brexit as a win-win, but says "if you look at 'the Republic' there is clearly a lose-lose scenario".
Dominic Raab says he's met with party leaders like "Marie-Lou Donaldson" (aka @MaryLouMcDonald), and tells Labour MP @ConorMcGinn, who represents an English seat, that he represents people from the border communities.
Revealing: Dominic Raab says the UK government's approach throughout has been to try to leverage a time limit on the backstop to determine the future relationship.
