Good Friday Agreement

Tory hopefuls have hardened their Brexit stances and declared Northern Ireland backstop “dead”. It may be too soon to read the last rites.

Varadkar says there could be checks at ports on whole island of Ireland if UK crashes out. It’s not just Brexiters who believe in fantasy.

Brexiters have been blasé about border politics since 2016. Now Congress speaker warns it could make their US trade dream a “non starter”.

Northern Ireland secretary says a no-deal Brexit would make a border poll in Northern Ireland more likely. But so would Theresa May’s withdrawal deal.

We’ve given our word to keep the border as open as it is now. That affects everyone from doctors and plumbers to farmers and schoolchildren.

It’s 20 years since the Good Friday Agreement established imperfect peace. Hard Brexiters who question the pact are undermining it.

Brexiters’ approach to UK commitments over Northern Ireland reveals disdain for British history, honour, and soldiers who died in province.

Sensitivity to Irish question is nudging Labour to say UK shouldn’t quit customs union or single market. That’s also good for jobs.

Time to start taking the Irish dimension of Brexit seriously and to stop just paying lip service to it.

The two main parties in Northern Ireland are once more locked in stalemate. But they may find common cause to limit the damage from Brexit.

Unless old conventions are waived, to get Brexit agreed and legislated will require a new election or a new referendum, or both.

Embracing Ulster loyalists at Westminster would limit her room for manoeuvre on Brexit and endanger the Northern Irish peace process.
