Northern Ireland deserves better from Westminster politicians obsessed by the backstop, says former Demos chief Claudia Wood

There have been a number of instances, over the past three years, where we have witnessed lows in our democratic and deliberative processes. The confidence and supply agreement between the government and the Democratic Unionist party is just one of many. In return for an eye-watering £1bn, Theresa May was guaranteed just 10 extra votes. No doubt the prime minister expected, back in 2017, that future Brexit votes would be a lot tighter than the large parliamentary defeats we have seen.
