Comments in interview with RTE

  • Agreed position suited everybody
  • Does not think the government will change the text
  • We were talking about an "alignment" (likely about alignment of interests here)
  • We can still get to Phase 2 of Brexit talks
  • UK said all issues could be sorted in Phase 2
  • Believes that DUP wants to avoid hard border

Okay, let the finger pointing begin! Typical political game play, eh?

Meanwhile, Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon is out saying "this could be a moment to push to keep the whole of the UK in the single market and customs union". Yup, we're back to this again as well. You just gotta love Brexit drama.

GBP/USD is down to 1.3375 now as 1.3400 gives way.
