EU have told Britain that Northern Ireland will be staying in the single market and custom unions after Brexit so there isn't a hard border. Sturgeon has come out and said well if the EU are keeping Northern Ireland in the single market and custom unions then Scotland should be in it as well. If Northern Ireland are kept in by the EU then the DUP could break up there confidence and supply agreement with the Tories meaning another General Election very soon and possibly Indy 2 for Scotland.

If Scotland stays in the single market and custom unions that means there will need to be a hard border between Scotland and England unless the whole of the UK stay in the single market and custom unions.

I think what needs to happen now is cancel Article 50, have a 2nd referendum on the membership of the EU and if it's Leave again we Leave and if it's Remain we stay. If on a 2nd referendum its Leave there needs to be a cross-party Government put in place like they had during the War where they all worked together and then call a General Election straight after so the British people can decide who they want in charge after Brexit for the next 5 years or so.

Think we are reaching the tipping point now matt. That fudge in december was never going to last because it was an impossibility that someone wasn't going to get what they wanted. Ireland is a circle that can't be squared unless the UK stays in the customs union.

Said it for a while now - the situation in ireland may kill brexit off before it gets started.

As it stands people on both sides of the argument are starting to wake up and realise the Tories are making a real mess of the situation. People who voted Leave are starting to realise they didn't vote for this and the way the Tories are negotiating. The problem with this was the Tories listened to the 52% and not the 48% as well.

You have people who voted Leave saying just "walk away". It's not as simple as walking away. We need the rest of Europe for trade and also we need to get along with them even if we are out of the political aspects of the union. Like it or not the European Union is the biggest trading union in the World and if we can't trade with them then we will struggle and people don't understand that, I understand that and I'm a Eurosceptic. I dislike the political side to the EU and these bureaucrats but we need Europe for trade. I also think the strong remainers get the European Union and the continent Europe muddled up, one has been going on for thousands of years and the other for the last 25 years.

A deal has to work both ways for the EU and for the United Kingdom and the only simple solution seems to be single market and customs union. The EU debate is very complex and there is more to it than a yes or no question.
