Raab blames EU for breakdown in yesterday's negotiations

It was clearly a barnstorm yesterday with the EU shutting up shop and parking the bus concerning the Irish border issue. see earlier comments here.

GBP not reacting much, 100 MA still creating support but Raab's comments do explain some of the intensity to GBP's drop this am. It sounds like a lesser woman would have resigned by now.

Raab continues

  • No custom's border down the Irish Sea
  • Backstop details will be set out, when they are set out
  • Will not engage in any histrionics
  • this is a bump in the road (ha1)
