Looking at the text its mostly identical to may's deal, so why the sudden volte face from the brexiteers? And when it isn't identical its actually worse. I long predicted the DUP would get chucked under the bus as it was the only way out for the tories. May couldn't do it because she needed their votes, Boris doesn't because he has basically hit the reset button before a GE in which he will get a majority.

All this does is kicks the can down the road for the non-existent Stormont Assembly to resolve, in the hope that the prevailing hard right winds will pull the plug on any chance of a meaningful deal. It’s the duty of ALL MPs with a modicum of decency of conscience to oppose it.

Sadly I think the anti-corbyn wing of the Labour Party will vote it through, knowing that a GE is coming to save their own skins. And the public are so fatigued with the whole thing now that they just want some kind of resolution - not realising this is a shit one.

The EU and Ireland are happy because its a deal that weakens the UK's hand considerably and frankly they have us over a barrel in the years worth of trade talks that come.....With trumps America first helping themselves first.


Also this deal is extremely bad for Scotland in a business and farming sense, I reckon it makes Irish unification and Scottish independence much more likely going forward.
