Any Irish left on here who can offer on-the-ground thoughts on Varadkar?
He seems massively out of touch with what the UK voters think.
I can't even figure out his positions on everything - it just seems to pour scorn on every single thing that comes out of the UK and that's about it. Surely his number 1 priority should be peace across Ireland and he should be doing his best to work with Boris to come up with a workable solution?
Where does a hard Brexit (no-deal) leave the border?
What am I missing?
I doubt theres any Irish posters here after the last week.

It's hard to know what is the truth and what is bullshit anymore.
It's a clear a lot of people (media, MP's amongst others) have no trust in Boris and are looking at all avenues and then trying to figure out what he may be trying to do.
Parliament is truly dysfunctional. BJ has presented a deal which has a majority in HOC, something May never achieved. It is a negotiating position designed to allow for EU pushback. Any argument that he wasn't looking for a deal is looking bankrupt.
But Benn (Surrender) Bill means EU can adopt 'he who turns and runs away lives to fight another day' tactics!! Net effect to make a deal harder.
Of course, there is a view that, behind all the pretence to 'No Deal', objectors know that by empowering EU (confident its bluff can't be called) only to offer terms which no Sovereign state would accept, repeated delays will lead to Brexit collapsing.
In particular, EU is trying to hobble UK for future trade deals by trying to blackmail it into leaving NI behind in EUCM.
Would love to see EU position IF it had to face up to No Deal actually happening!

@pakman Haven't read it yet but considering it's only a Blair era institution and reading this recent article it sounds incredibly disturbing of something that is supposed to be a 'supreme court'.
Sad day for British Law, which has historically been held in very high regard.

Forget all the Irish nonsense. This is the real problem we will face with a no deal.

So Merkel has told BoJo basically a deal ain't happening under the terms / ideas he's proposed.
Still breaking, so tough to come up with what this exactly means. UK leaves without a deal? Corbyn and co get their way?
If nothing else It means that Bojo has more ammunition to blame others for no deal.
I just cannot see how he loses the PR war after winning so many PR battles. -

Well, No10 say that Merkel says etc. Who knows? But @Baron-Silas-Greenback is right, if true, this gives Boris some serious ammo to go down the no deal route.
