THERESA MAY’s former Chief of Staff Gavin Barwell has admitted the former Prime Minister’s negotiations were split in two which ultimately led to the creation of the backstop in her Brexit deal which was rejected by the House of Commons three times.

Mr Barwell explained the backstop was brought in as an “insurance policy” by the EU but noted it wouldn’t have been necessary if they had both talks at the same time. The two topics were negotiating the divorce arrangements followed by the UK and EU’s relationship in the future. Speaking to Radio 5 Live, He said: “I think one of the things that I would reflect on is the original phasing decision which was something that the EU pushed very hard for.“That, definitely, with hindsight, made it hard.

Even if the backstop had been removed from Mays deal it still would not have been acceptable. her so called deal was more of 'Capitulation Treaty' really!!
