    Bernard Jenkin Retweeted IEA

    This is what EU has offered. Irish border wd be the only major EU objection, but they may as well capitulate, or it’s WTO and no Irish backstop. EU has never said they will force Ireland to put up border infrastructure. UK won’t. Any customs checks will be done away from border.https://twitter.com/iealondon/status/1044143953904324609 …

        The thing that makes utterly no sense on the topic of the Irish border is that if we just leave the EU cannot impose a hard border on us as we will be fully sovereign state.

        If we trade under WTO rules we have to have a border with customs officers.

        So you've copied what the EU has done then? Still doesn't sort the Irish border does it? Why are you living in denial of reality Bernie?

        Replying to @bernardjenkin

        IEA is an American free-market think-tank which loves to deregulate and give us a free for all. More globalisation with them, not less. 'The people' did not vote leave for more inequality in wealth, and dumbed down standards of food and drink. And they like peace. #Irishborder

        No - the EU will want the UK out. Last week The Tory MEPS sided with Viktor Orban and Nigel Farage is the UK's Ambassador of crass. They'll be glad to see the back of them. Brace for no deal.

        39bn?.....it's really not a lot of money to either side. It's thrown around as a red herring. It just means the other EU27 will have to cover UK commitments

        Most of those 27 are net recipients, the UK was the second largest net contributor behind Germany, so try again Declan.

        At the very least how do you propose to deal with non-trusted traders or individuals? Or to stop people evading the away-from-border checks?

        But right now there aren't any duties to pay at the Irish border. In future there will be in at least some cases. I don't think "not bothering" is acceptable.

        There may be duties, there may not be. In any case, cross border trade is insignificant

        If you ever manage to get Cowardly Kier on can you ask him “what are the EU going to do with NI border in event of no deal?” Will then realise NI is being disgracefully used by remainiacs desperate to keep us in and only believed by the gullible.
