BBC News: Reports " The UK and EU have failed to reach an agreement to move to the next stage of Brexit talks, Theresa May has said...Downing Street said that was not the only outstanding problem. "
Lets Get Real:
PM May needs a better spin Master, the idea that Northern Ireland would be separated from the UK would be a hurdle to far for the Unionist DUP, and the Conservative Government needs the DUP in the House of Commons. Also as the article states there are other problems, what about the power of the European Court of Justice, will they still outrank UK Courts. The article states that about 20 Conservative MPs had a problem with the deal, thus No 10 faces problems with the DUP and its own backbenches, so what is the solution. One option find language that works for the DUP, also get the spin out if they agree, the devil is in the details, then take the deal to the EU and say, this is it, take or leave it, another option would be to get the Labour Party to support the deal, that would lead to the Government of May falling and a new Conservative PM or even Corbyn in No 10, that is not an option for Conservatives. Of course we have the final option, the nuclear option, a hard Brexit, it would be tough, but at least it would be over.
As to postulate the path to be taken by PM May, it would be find better language that confuses hell out of everyone, get the DUP to agree to it, and let them spin as a victory for them as they are part of the UK, and then make a deal with the EU as to get to the next talks on trade. Of course the devil is in the details, if it seen that Northern Ireland is getting a its own deal, then Wales, Scotland will ask for a deal, thus the Government has to control the spin and win, we shall be Friday if they can manage that trick.
