        If UK is so convinced it will have a great trade deal with EU. Why is it so afraid of the backstop. The NI border is the EU border.

        So we’ll stay longer instead of reaching an agreement? And it’s the EU responsibility to put the future relationship in place quickly? Don’t remember them asking us to leave 🤔 @DominicRaab you are a useless, sloped shouldered coin purse #BrexitShambles

        @DominicRaab is either an imbecile or has a serious memory problem. The UK government signed up to and agreed to the backstop in December 2017 #brexitshambles

        May is selling the UK down the river (appeasement and annexation of NI). No credible opposition: Labour/Lib Dems want to remain, not work towards leave. @DavidDavisMP for PM; same terms as Canada; porous NI border like Bulgaria/Serbia (#Penka the cow)https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/12/the-brexit-bill-and-britains-war-debts …

        You sold yourself down the river when you voted leave. This is the inevitable consequence of pursuing fantasy policies which can’t be implemented. Want to blame someone? Maybe think about you and your 17m credulous mates.

        Without agreeing the backstop there is no translation. This isn’t complicated

        What the Nasty Party need to realise is that we all know that there would never have been an Issue about the Backstop if they weren’t reliant on the DUP As proved by the fact May went over to sign deal on her Boss Arlene rang and warned her off. Torry Party don’t stand here inNI.

        Dear bbc news when you report on the backstop can you please report that the U.K. agreed to this initially. The eu didn’t force this on them. Brexiteers hoped this wld force eu hand to break the 4 principles of SM. The eu just hoped to underscore GFA.

        Longer transition ONLY if that doesn't mean more payments to the EU.

        As the backstop is intended to preserve peace in Britain and Ireland if any future relationship (such as one similar to CETA) does not support the Good Friday treaties, how would extending any transition period for a few weeks help? Puzzled.

        But surely the Brexit camp had a plan two years back, hell they were so full of confidence, they & they alone were the ones who were telling the truth. Heathrow Airport jam full of foreign nations wanting to sign trade deals. So simple, sign a piece of paper & we go, simple
