Stephen Barclay and Priti Patel insist focus is on achieving agreement before 31 October

Two of Boris Johnson’s senior cabinet ministers have talked up the possibility of securing a Brexit deal through some divergence on the rules in Northern Ireland, as the government’s rhetoric showed fresh signs of shifting ahead of crucial talks next week.

In another desperate attempt to produce deceptive headlines on a possible deal, PM Cummings gets his followers to continue promoting a breakthrough that the Irish govt and the DUP have dismissed - Did AndrewMarr9 remind nastyPatel of this?

Israeli Spy being given airtime by the BBC and the Guardian. Despicable !!!!

It's bullshit... They're just preparing the ground for when they say we tried to compromise but the EU wouldn't. The DUP won't have it & the ERG nutcases won't accept any form of deal. There's too much money & political equity at stake for them to change course now.

It’s an Irish border. All of Ireland is a foreign country. Descendants of the ulster plantation will have to accept a united Ireland one day. So will the colonialists in the U.K.

When the historians write about Brexit;what will they say? Breaking the shackles of Europe, or the greatest con of all time on a voting public? When did people vote for no-deal(ND);When was that option ever mentioned. Was it theresa_may ND better than a BD; without defining a BD

Yep. What they mean is Britain says jump, Ireland says how high oh once mighty one. Britain gets its way, Ireland compromises. Why change the habits of a lifetime. To Hell with the Good Friday Agreement and the Peace Process. What counts is Britain gets its trade deals.

The EU should come up with there own solution of protecting their single market its their job not the uks job

Same sh1t, different day.

So it’s likely a red herring intended to give Boris an excuse for not asking for an extension & blaming opposition for not supporting a deal. Unless opposition passes a no confidence motion AND forms a GNU that will commit to a referendum before elections, no-deal is likely 2/2

While the EU has indicated that it would accept a NI-only backstop, are there enough MPs in HOC who would back it? Presumably, at least LibDems & DUP would not. ERG has stated only no-deal will do. Don’t see why Lab would given that its objections went beyond the back stop. 1/2

They should properly & honestly define it as compromise on Northern Irish lives so everyone can see how very little value they place on those in their glib bargening.

I see, so they are saying the focus is on them backtracking and kowtowing to the EU?

Are the Tories offering bonuses to people who snitch on remainer neighbours yet?

Key word there... compromise - root stem of word compromised = the people of NI

The only way to deliver Brexit is to leave NI in the CU/SM, it’s not rocket science, otherwise all other solutions break the GFA or undermine the integrity of the SM, one day someone in govt is going to have to wake up and realise this, Brexit=a legally divided UK

Haven’t had the chat with Arlene yet have they? She’ll handbag ‘em!! 🦄

Bearing in mind Ms Patel wanted to starve the Irish to the negotiating table?

Does anyone believe a single thing this vile subhuman says

It's a British border

Did she talk up breeding unicorns for meat as well?

How could stormont have a role? Enjoy before erased: BorisJohnson realDonaldTrump Fascinating! Stormont is a handsome redundant building & an interesting relic of past government processes. Its irrelevence ensured by the DUP & to a lesser extent Sin Fein, have ensured that the Tory created debacle of Brexit will produce a united Ireland within a decade.
