The scale of the deceit of Theresa May’s so-called “worst deal in history” deal has been dramatically revealed after the government was forced to publish a key legal document by a vote in Parliament.
Members of Parliament received the document Wednesday morning, and it was due to the published to the public around 11:30. Yet scanned pages of the paper quickly spread on social media as opposition politicians shared what they had received.
Controversially, the legal advice reveals that with Theresa May’s Brexit deal there would be regulatory and customs checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland — in effect creating a border in the Irish sea between two equal and full parts of the United Kingdom.
...
All parts of the United Kingdom being treated equally in negotiations and the status of Northern Ireland within the country not being challenged was a key “red line” of the government in Brexit negotiations, but the document clearly reveals that line has been crossed.
Explaining how the European Union will continue to set rules in Northern Ireland — an arrangement which deal critic and Brexiteer Boris Johnson has characterised as turning the British province into an “economic semi-colony of the EU” — the legal advice made clear how Ulster would be treated by the European Union.
It reads: “The arrangements as a whole apply differently in GB and NI… NI remains in the EU’s Customs Union, and will apply the whole of the EU’s customs [legislation], and the Commission and [European Court of Justice] will continue to have jurisdiction of its compliance with those rules”.

Theresa May has orchestrated nothing less than High Treason.
Theresa May lost not one, not two, but THREE votes in the House of Commons today, and the fact that she is not at the Palace surrendering the seals of her office is just beyond belief.
Theresa May will soon be repudiated by her own party out of desperation and fear, Parliamentary principle and tradition having failed to provide sufficient motivation.
It will be impossible to get out without a civil war.
California is intent on taking over the country as we post

“regulatory and customs checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland”
Go through a border to get into Belfast from London?
Ha ha ha ha
Cromwell will rise from the grave and lead 10,000 Roundheads through the gates slaughtering all
And I believe the EU is using the UK as the example to others.
President Trump is right....all the global agreements are a mess.
In a more pragmatic era, crows would be plucking her eyeballs out of their sockets.
No amount of cravenness in the pursuit of power, on the part of globalists like May, will ever surprise me.
Maybe someone can help me understand what this “backstop” is for N. Ireland. It seems like the EU is essentially splitting the UK and NI as far as trade goes by forcing customs rules regarding trade between the two.
Have I got it right or way off the mark? I have been following this since the vote but their laws and government structure confounds me.
Basicly, The UK would give up control of Northern Ireland, but still be forced to pay the costs of EU regulatory Compliance for it.
Yup.
More evidence of how the “representative” governments of the west do NOT represent their constituents.
i do think the UK has to do a hard brexit and relinquish control over North Ireland and broker a trade deal with Trump, OR give up brexit and stay in the EU.
The problem with North Ireland is that the UK took over Ireland by force and they are still trying to cling to a token prize of that long ago force.
