You can follow the blow-by-blow reaction to the magnificent (maybe) success in Brussels here.
I regret to say that I cannot really understand how matters have progressed since last Monday. Unless the entire UK is to retain membership of the single market/customs union, a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic is inevitable. Alternatively, if there is no hard border between NI and the Republic, then there has to be a hard border between Ireland as a whole and the rest of the UK. And, if the UK is to remain in the single market/customs union, the Tory backbenches will go doolally.
I'm flummoxed.
