Hello. A brexit deal to get us to the next phase of talks didnt happen yesterday, and today theres been more drama. Theresa may is now trapped between brexiteer mps desire to stop making concessions, the taoiseachs veto over the next round of talks, and the dups hold over her government. Is it like the end of reservoir dogs . Feels like it. But at the heart of it is a trilemma. The uk government is looking for three things from which the eu says we can only have two. Britain wants no land border between Northern Ireland and the republic. It wants no sea border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. But it wants no eu control at home independence from eu rules which implies a border between britain and the eu. The irish say theyll not accept a breach of number one. The dup will not tolerate a breach of number two. So does that mean we have no choice but to breach number three . Well, thats not what Iain Duncan Smith and his fellow brexiteers want.
