    No NI-only backstop to the backstop. Essentially they want the UK trade agreement wrapped up as part of the withdrawal agreement, which must also allow them to enter their own trade deals. Doubling down on the rhetoric, can’t see the way out here.

    She's sticking to the keep the union stance. Can't see any deal now. Temporary backstop shafts us at some point.

    A point that seems to have been forgotten in Britain is that the DUP campaigned against the good Friday agreement.
    Hardly surprising that they don't consider it binding in any way.

    The speaker of the House of Commons sounds like a school principle at times.

    I do watch them when I can. They are different to the dail debates which at times sound painfully scripted.

    Jeremy Corbyn is right about one thing anyway- this is a complete shambles.

    I’d consider moving back to the UK for career reasons right now if not for Brexit- it’s now deeply unappealing. Ireland looks better in almost every way.

    It was in relation to the document agreed with the backstop in December. He was asking does the commitment agreed in December still stand.

    The ERG killed it with their amendment to the customs bill in July, ie the UK signed up to something that was 6 months later voted on to be illegal

    Some very good points by the SNP fella. Of course he was mostly talked over and ridiculed.

    Unwatchable. I've seen more dignified and rational food fights among the ducks in Stephens Green.
