The Taoiseach said the pair shared their perspectives on Brexit adding that the DUP wanted to avoid a no-deal scenario.
“They don’t want a no-deal either so at the moment they’re in discussions with the British government about how they might approach the next vote but they’re discussions I am not party to.”Donald TuskHe added: “I’ve always said that what I would like to avoid is a rolling extension, where there is an extension every few months, that would just add to uncertainty and wouldn’t solve the problem.
“We want to get a deal. We’ve always been in that frame of mind. We don’t want to leave without a deal but a lot will depend in terms of what the government is able to do in terms of providing the guarantees that are necessary to assuage our concerns,” he said. “That needs to be addressed and the overall situation of how the UK as a whole, the economic integrity of the internal market utterly protected for NI going forward. What we are doing is continuing to discuss that issue, continuing to discuss how that can actually be provided for, how we can protect the internal market of the United Kingdom,” he said.
Does anybody else think that t’s just a bit strange that the DUP feel that they have to tell EVERYBODY who will listen that it is “not cash” that’s framing the negotiations? dogwhistle MethinksTheyDothProtestTooMuch Brexit backstop
