Irish European minister Helen McEntee says backstop agreement not only reason withdrawal agreement failed in UK parliament
- Says backstop necessary and tonight's developments at Westminster do nothing to change this
Speaking in an interview on Irish television
More:
- We are not just beginning talks on Brexit, we have been through this all before
- UK rowing back on the deal
- New UK demands amount to reneging on prior pommittments given
"It's exasperating at this stage because this is a deal which was negotiated with the UK, by the UK, signed off by the UK and the prime minister - and now it looks as though this evening, essentially, there is a row-back and a reneging on the commitments that were made"
Strong words these from a diplomat … reneging on the commitments that were made
About time someone spoke the truth, stop all this pussyfooting around.

Tock tock …. March 29 getting closer and the deckchairs keep getting shuffled around in the UK Parliament.
