"The UK will contribute to, and participate in, the implementation of the Union annual budgets for the years 2019 and 2020 as if it had remained in the Union "

'the UK will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement.'

The vast majority of architecture and art since WW2 has been devoid of any aesthetic value.

The Common Travel Area covers free movement of people and has never covered free movement of goods. It is perfectly consistent with a hard border. For most of the time before the single market, there was indeed a hard border between the UK and RoI. And while Brexiteers claim the prospect of a hard border is a manufactured crisis invented by the Irish government, the parliamentary Brexit committee (which has a Tory/DUP majority) has admitted that it is unavoidable. If the Brexiteers are really so determined to avoid a hard border, they should have no problem in giving a written assurance to the Irish government ruling it out, with concrete proposals as to how this can be achieved - that is all the Irish are asking for. They won't do that because they know a soft border would create problems for future trade agreements and would be illegal under WTO rules.

All this mess springs from the Brexiteers' ludicrous belief that the UK has the stronger hand. In reality, 27 nations against 1 isn't even a contest. It's not that May and Davis are spineless capitulators: if market access is in question, the UK has no option but to utimately agree to what the EU demands.

So the end result of the 'negotiations' (actually an endless series of capitulations by the UK) will be a de facto united Ireland as an EU fiefdom. Well done Brexiteers
