Daily Mail: Reports " Boris Johnson's mission impossible: PM announces last-gasp visit to Dublin to see Leo Varadkar and keep a Brexit agreement ALIVE after saying furious bust-up with Angela Merkel meant a deal was off the table "
Lets Get Real:
This is a good strategic move by PM Boris, he can blame the Irish and the Germans for the breakdown of talks, he can argue that HUBRIS has overtaken the Irish and Germans. Once the UK is out of the EU, it will be the Irish that suffer, let's see how much the German taxpayer wants to bail out the Irish economy again. Also since the UK will not place customs facilities near the border it will be up to the Republic Ireland, they have stated they will not, they will be placed under pressure by the EU to have some kind of customs structure, as the EU single markets would be damaged. The losers in the long term will be the Irish and the Germans. The UK will be fine.
