Spoke with 🇮🇪 @simoncoveney and 🇪🇺 @MichelBarnier today. I reconfirmed we’re unequivocally committed to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and that we want a deal, but Parliament has been clear it won’t accept the backstop. 1/3
@simoncoveney @MichelBarnier As the PM @BorisJohnson explained to @ecopresident Donald Tusk in his letter, that means the backstop must go. There’s a strong shared desire for a deal in London, Belfast and Dublin. 2/3
@simoncoveney @MichelBarnier @BorisJohnson @ecopresident UK seeks to work constructively on alternative arrangements for the NI border to deliver a deal which is in both sides interests. But we must be clear: we’re leaving 🇪🇺 on 31 October come what may. #BrexitReady 3/3
