"The EU is ready to find a solution, but for that there is no need to re-open the Withdrawal Agreement. It is a question of future ties. Britain needs to decide which way it goes," the German Chancellor said.In a response last night, Boris Johnson claimed he remained confident a deal could be reached.
"But clearly, one thing that slightly I think complicates the picture is that our EU friends still clearly think that there is a possibility that parliament will block Brexit. Speaking to Sky News, the chairman of the Brexit Select Committee, Hilary Benn said:"What does he do on the 1st November? That is when the problems will begin.
the alternative to backstop has always been there, sea border on the UK mainland, the UK Govt wanted a backstop on the Island of Ireland to keep their majority power, the only thing that matters to Tories....this time failure is coming whether no deal leave or abide by rules
I thought he wouldn’t talk to any of the EU leaders until they dropped the backstop. Or was that just more spin?
