FT now on UK's Brexit Secretary Raab's hard line stance on Irish border

I posted up the news on a hard line demand by Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab

has privately demanded the right to pull Britain out of EU's Irish backstop after just three months

That was in the UK's telegraph earlier, now the Financial Times picking it up

FT is gated, but link is here if it works for you:

• Raab presses May to take Brexit hard line over Irish border

Raab has urged May to back a hardline plan over the Irish border

• wants Britain to have the right to pull out unilaterally from any "backstop" plan to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland with just three months' notice
• even though Brussels has demanded an "all-weather" guarantee

GBP was marked higher in the early morning here in Asia (early NZ time) on weekend news:

It has subsided a little since the earlier reports on Raab:
