The Taoiseach appears to be going around like he’s a Wild West tough guy these days.
Speaking on RTE’s This Week radio programme, Varadkar said that the government isn’t contemplating a hard border no matter how the UK government votes on the proposed Brexit deal.
Varadkar said: “If we get the future relationship right, we may never need to invoke the backstop. Prime Minister Theresa May described it very well this morning as to why an insurance policy couldn’t have a unilateral exit clause.”
“Politics in Britain is very divided, the country is still divided roughly 50/50 on whether they want to leave the European Union at all, and even if there was a second referendum what would the question be, would it be on ‘remain or leave’ or would it be ‘deal or no deal’.
“They’re in a very difficult situation, sadly it’s a situation they’ve put themselves in.”
Varadkar has also appeared to set out his election stall by saying there’ll be a new top tax rate at €50,000.
