Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney comments
- May is undermining her own position
- There are no obvious alternatives to the backstop
- We have spent two years looking at alternatives and have not found one
If Ireland isn't going to allow for it, then that means the rest of the EU27 will have to stand behind them on the backstop. At this point, you have to wonder what the actual game plan really is for the UK government. Is it just really all about the threat? If you can even call it a threat that is.
