A NI backstop was the initial plan. It was the UKG that wanted to make it UK-wide. NI only backstop is not a constitutional issue, respects the GFA and has strong support in NI. Plus it allows NI to be a bridge to both GB and EU markers #bridgesnotbordershttps://t.co/jPgAPvLHw7

I see Michel Barnier is being logical again, the adorable eejit

— The Irish Border (@BorderIrish) March 8, 2019

Unprecedented for @MichelBarnier to tweet out the details of negotiations in this way. It shows just how angered the EU was by the excerpts of Theresa May's speech released last night, which they saw as the UK starting a 'blame game' over who will be responsible for no deal.

HR 1 is a real bill and a very important one.
But Instead of scheduling a vote on it in the Senate Mitch McConnell wants to vote on a ridiculous “Green New Deal” resolution that is just ideological blabber he doesn’t even agree with.
Time to Ditch Mitch?https://t.co/oFU1W6w5fz
