Simon & Julia The backstop is insurance to protect the rights of citizens in Northern Ireland. Without the backstop as a default position in case of no deal. Without the backstop the british gov. will be responsible for renaging on a 20 year old international peace agreement...
Yesterday in the urgent Q on the rollover of our trade agreements, I raised my fear that the current backstop paints us into a Turkey - a partial customs union that makes it v difficult for us to have a meaningful independent trade policy, in spite of assurances to the contrary.pic.twitter.com/Zxt1hJmbMc
