[Christmas Dynasnow]

The EU's 'deal' was voted down by two-thirds of Parliament. The reason for that is that the 'backstop' is completely unacceptable whether you are a leaver, a remainer or a vegetable.

The EU is still in fantasyland, thinking they can put the 'deal' to another vote essentially unchanged, and this time it will pass.

Then they have the nerve to slam Brexiteers for having 'no plan'.


-----

The UK, Ireland and EU all agree that there should be no "hard" border.

Yet the EU insists on keeping the terms of the backstop in case there's "no deal", so that a hard border can be avoided, in the full knowledge that this makes "the deal" unacceptable to most in parliament, which could easily lead to "the deal" being finally rejected, and then they's HAVE to have a hard border!

Somewhat incoherent policy from the EU.

They have got a lot of hard thinking to do, and they need to hurry up and do it.
