@Dominic2306 But in September 2019, had Benn Act not passed, in the deal you were trying to get before 31/10, what was your intention re goods checks? Not sure if you’re saying “we’d have got a deal in which we didn’t have checks GB/NI & we wouldn’t build anything NI/RoI”. Was that feasible? — PolitiTweet.org

@Dominic2306 Just to clarify does this counter factual apply just to VL running things from 06/16 or also the situation in 09/19 pre Benn-Burt? In other words, was the deal you hoped for before Benn-Burt passed one that meant no GB/NI checks & it’s for the EU to deal with their SM issue? — PolitiTweet.org

@Dominic2306 Thanks for the clarity. Assuming that line was held, my view is that the overwhelming probability was that we’d have left the EU without a deal on 31/10 but for the Benn Act. But I assume you think there was a reasonable chance (50%?) of the EU agreeing a deal on those terms? — PolitiTweet.org
