Firmly rejected by DUP.
Johnson will need to concede much more and so will EU.

As the song goes "Money talks" The thing with the DUP is that they don't even represent the majority of the people in NI, Most just like the rest of the UK want to get on with their lives

Because it's not in the EU's interest to sort out the Ireland issue (as stated by EU officials when secretly recorded).

To understand the DUP you only need to know that they would rather revoke art.50 and cancel Brexit than change the current status NI has with the rUK.

To be fair to the DUP (and it's something I warned of many pages ago) the Boris plan re: the customs border looks to me to be a lot like the plan that was drawn up at Chequers and which caused Boris to resign as Foreign Sec in the first place. And is a worse outcome IMO than the backstop.

Since when has it been the EU's responsibility to sort out a British issue?
