Completely rubbish. It's the UK who want to break ties with the EU and have no intention to get a deal. May actually negiotiated a decent compromise solution over which Johnson resigned. He then negotiated a worse solution and now blames the EU for HIS idea. (1/4)

Now the Tories blame the EU over a deal that Johnson negiotiated, kicked MPs who were against it out of the party for and won a GE on the promise of implementing that deal. Reality is that they want to leave the Single Market & Customs Union. (2/4)
That means there HAS to be a hard border. If we fall back on WTO terms, a hard border is compulsory as it's written in the WTO rules. A hard border on the island of Ireland violates the GFA, so the only way to prevent that is a border in the Irish sea. (3/4)
It's disingenuous to claim we can have an open border in the Irish Sea AND between NI/ROI. It's one or the other.
I intended to step back from political Twitter, but these government lies make me angry. They are happy to risk NI peace for political reasons, sickening! (4/4)
