Also today, leaked cabinet papers show how crippling no-deal could be to Ireland’s supply lines – meaning Brexiteers have seized on them as the perfect way to put pressure on Ireland to drop the backstop. As Priti Patel, the idiot’s idiot, put it: “Why hasn’t this point been pressed home during the negotiations?” I mean … who can say?
