While diplomats praise some aspects of Boris Johnson's offer, his insistence that Northern Ireland remain in the UK's customs territory after Brexit leaves the EU with unpalatable choices:or b) the EU not controlling its customs border which Brussels says would both lead to smuggling and contravene WTO regulations.
But the EU isn't laughing. Or playing politics, insists Brussels. It says its objections to Boris Johnson's customs proposals are practical, not political. They warn that any accident or contamination would affect the whole single market plus the EU's reputation amongst other trading partners. EU sources insist that whatever the Johnson government threatens or however it cajoles, the EU"can't be bullied" into accepting the prime minister's proposals as they stand.
All down to remainer May. The EU couldn't believe their luck when she turned up. Thank goodness we now have a leader who is putting the country first
Tusk doesn’t want to know about brexit. Look at his body language. Totally uninterested.BrexitChaos
I guess there’s no doubt that the Tories are holding the rest of the country hostage. A deal could have been reached and then attenuated for the next five years, alas, there’s no pleasing cons if they know you have no place to go. They’ll just tea you up and fit you out.

No. Just the start.
Brexit isn’t dead it’s just resting. StopBrexit
BBCPolitics The one thing I learned from the UK politics is that if you want to win just tell lies about a subject which few people know about and make it appear that they are the enemies of UK.
this is the end, my friend, the end.
We know 'The clock is ticking'. We have been told enough times. If Boris can't get us out maybe Nigel Farrage can. If not the electorate are waiting and we are patient.
I sincerely hope so! GetBrexitDone
Once we leave the EU know it will have a domino effect on the rest of the eu countries. They'll see how prosperous the UK are with the rest of the world on trade deals

BBCPolitics OR - are we not possibly now in the eye of the hurricane? The fleeting period of calmness when against all odds the greater good can prevail? The fleeting period of only chance to ignore the exaggerations and nastiness of the way to here?
Time to leave ,counting the days 👍
BBCPolitics It's only remoaners who are happy to stay in the EU, the rest of us have seen what a disaster it is and it cannot be reformed so time to give up on that fantasy. These unelected bureacrats are hell bent on their superstate agenda and don't care who they crush on the way.
Funny how you know the EU's thinking but not the UK's? Lol who am I kidding....they are the only side talking to you eh BBC? You have absolutely no credibility left.
God, I hope so. We tried, they failed. GetBrexitDone
He knows our MPs are strongly behind him....he’s doing what the opposition are instructed him to do....simple
Negotiations We want this - Non Well then we want this - Non Can we please have this? - Non How about this? - Non
The EU's nothing more than a parasitic giant ponzi scheme for the Treacherous unelected privileged few, We've propped up the EU for years & we're sold out by some of our own Treacherous MP's & leaders for personal greed!
Hope so if it means an end to the whining self-righteousness and sham-victimhood antics of EUro-mediocrities like Donald Tusk and his ilk. The repulsive EU will NEVER stop trying to hogtie us into its own structures, so time we just left. All of us! Even the vile EU-stooge BBC
I would imagine that there are many countries in the EU looking on and seeing how the EU are behaving against a huge country like the UK. Can you imagine Hungary Greece portugal having to stand up to Brussels on their own. It's like a juggernaut. Plus our left bias media
Good riddance to the EU and hopefully good riddance to the BBC
remainers you learnt anything mmmmmm democracy rules and works even for us the working class --31st oct independence day 2019
If the UK demanded that France be run on Uk laws,the EU would be up in arms, yet here we are with the EU doing just that with NI.
Nice summary BBCkatyaadler but not sure the impact on sausage rolls was the first thing on my mind as I read it
They don’t like not getting their own way. Tough, time to leave.
If any one thinks? Brussels are in anyway interested in any mutual compromise?Then I 'm afraid they r just living in denial of the truth! what the end game intentions of this unelected super club'EU' are ? God ! haven't we learned nothing from their responses for the past 4yrs
Good , no deal , bye bye
Yes. We tried, they did their best to make them fail. Let’s move on now.
nobody knows how to sort brexit cant square a circle
Just do it already. This is the same as the fake armegeddon stories before Trump was elected about how the stock market would crash and he would start WW3. Nothing catastrophic will happen and things will actually improve some. That's what they're worried about the world seeing.
Greece Italy bankrupt Spain Cyprus and France on the brink with Germany/France going into recession.Riots in France/Belgium their Government has just imploded again and far right Governments in Hungary Italy Poland & Austria plus...remind me why UK should stay in the failing EU?
