Given the PM's commitment to leave on 31/10 (the basis on which he won ERG support for the Tory leadership), but for the Benn-Burt Act, I think it was almost inevitable that the UK would've left the EU without a deal on that date. — PolitiTweet.org

I think his answers raise a large number of issues. But to pick up just one, if the UK was going to insist on a position of not undertaking border checks GB-NI and said "it's your problem, EU", I cannot see how the EU could've agreed a deal in autumn 2019. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dominic2306 I accept that no choices were good. But any form of Brexit had to address the problem that divergence required a border somewhere - GB/NI, NI/RoI or RoI/rEU. It wasn't about losing leverage, it was about the realities of trade. — PolitiTweet.org
