One out of leftfield:

If this halfway house is such a good deal but the DUP too blind to play ball, why don't the Republic offer to align as soon kind of halfway house? 

Leo and the boys are saying we are well in with the Europeans so we could say that we will have an regulatory alignment with Brits, keeping the island border free and skelping a rake of business out of London and the like.

A sort of Hong Kong of Europe.

/Jim.

What happens when the British start "tearing up the EU red tap that is stifling business" do we continue to align with them and move out of alignment with the rest of the EU?

No idea, but if the North could be a halfway house with the best of both worlds I am wondering if it could be inverted.

As for cutting the red tape.  I worrying hear a brexiteer on Newsnight extolling the virtues of cheap meat from South America.   I don't know about the average Brit but I am happy to pay a little bit extra for the quality regulations (in particular around steroid and antibiotic use) the EU enforce.

/Jim.

One thing is for certain, waist sizes are going to increase when they start eating beef pumped with steroids. Look at your average Yank, who rarely eats grass fed beef. Some of those Brexiteers don't look the healthiest to begin with but they are about to get a lot more unhealthy with these new trade deals. They laugh about chlorinated chicken but that's what they will be eating, and yellow eggs from poor hens caged up eating soymeal all day.

Sammy and the DUP have got their bogeyman;

"Sammy Wilson accused "Brit-bashing" Taoiseach Leo Varadkar of harming good relations he helped forge between the Belfast and Dublin administrations while he was a minister in the Northern Ireland Executive."

That'll keep the natives happy.

LOL I always used to think people in the DUP had no sense of humour or irony but I'm changing my mind.

Sammy is the equivalent of Chemical Ali, he keeps the entertainment values high.

I don't know what it is about him but I just can't take him serious and it's still a bit surreal that he is currently at the forefront of British politics. He has received saturation coverage on mainstream British tv since last week and is loving the attention. I don't think he is capable of conducting an interview without mentioning SF/IRA, EU, Irish government, Varadkar, Coveney. He's just a more sanitised version of Willie Frazer.

Unfortunately though there are people who take him seriously meaning he is a dangerous man.

I didn't know he went to Methody & Queen's and was an economics teacher.

Fat lot of good that little lot did him....what a waste of money & time. It is difficult to educate a neanderthal baboon properly. I would reckon that if he doesn't see his GP, the old BP will get him soon. Hopefully.

I remember watching wee Sammy 25 years ago. He was always too bigoted to be credible. Same as Willie McCrea and Gregory Campbell. Sub council level Fianna Fáil quality.
The DUP don't have anyone who understands the tail risk that comes with Brexit.
And it's important.

Stop to pretend. Stop pretending

Seems like Sammy has heeded his mate Aaron Banks' advice whilst trying to get his message across in the last week.

It's not about facts, it's all about emotion

I thought uncontrolled expressions of emotion were a Papist speciality. Sammy sounds like one of their priests taking orders from a big wig elsewhere.
So many stereotypes are collapsing with the Tories.

Met Sammy a few times through work years ago, very engaging and clever and funny! This was obviously in a non political point scoring them and uses platform
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I'd imagine that away from all the rabble rousing hes probably one of the few DUPers that sounds like he hasn't had a humour transplant.

This is why the Shinners should get off their high horse,play tactically and move things in the direction of what they ultimately want

Senior hurling for the DUP

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/nov/20/theresa-may-to-meet-juncker-strengthened-by-failure-of-brexiter-revolt

"Theresa May will meet Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels on Wednesday to try to finalise the political declaration covering future UK-European Union relations after attempts by hard Brexiters to remove her ended in humiliation.

The prime minister meets the European commission president in the late afternoon in her strongest position since the first part of the Brexit deal was published last week after Jacob Rees-Mogg, the leader of the Tory rebels, conceded that it might take time to call a no-confidence vote."
