Irish border

May’s negotiating proposal fails to address fundamental questions and suggests fantastically complex solutions to the problems of Brexit.

Some Brexiters such as Gove think we can rip up any deal May does and start again. They’re wrong. Boris Johnson is right: we’ll be a colony.

George Bridges is giving ex-colleagues advice in advance of Chequers’ summit. This is one point where former Brexit minister is spot on.

Theresa May seems to want her Cabinet to agree a single market for goods. That will involve lots of concessions on Brexiters’ red lines.

This week’s European Council summit won’t move Brexit talks forward, thanks to deadlock over Irish border, security and science.

Boris Johnson may have said “f**k business”. Industry is responding by saying “f**k Brexit”. This isn’t what people voted for two years ago.

With “no substantial progress” in talks, especially on Irish border, EU is stepping up work on no-deal Brexit. This would be catastrophic.

Brussels’ forensic analysis of PM’s temporary fix to customs and Irish border has found it full of holes. MPs need to tell her what to do.

Leaked remarks show foreign secretary worried we’ll be “locked in orbit” around EU. He’s right. Time to pull the rip cord?

Double-speak has reached new depths. Cabinet ministers are squabbling over whether a “time-limited” backstop should have a time limit.

Davis has a new cockamamie wheeze to avoid border controls in Ireland. If this was April 1 not June 1, Max Fac 2 would clearly be a joke.

May has yet to find any plan that would preserve an invisible and frictionless border in Ireland.
