Junker 15/1: “I urge the United Kingdom to clarify its intentions as soon as possible.â€
UK Parliament 29/1: “MPs have backed seeking "alternative arrangements" to replace the Irish backstop in Theresa May's Brexit plan.â€
Tusk 29/1: “The backstop is part of the Withdrawal Agreement, and the Withdrawal Agreement is not open for renegotiation.â€
This is what it means to be part of the EU and serves as a useful demonstration of how we are (un)able to influence it from the inside.
It deeply saddens me that the EU has come to this, we’ve tried and tried to be heard over the years but it’s time to leave now and the sooner the better.
