Arlene says NO! The DUP are not supporting Theresa May’s Brexit deal




It’s looking more and more likely that it’ll be pistols are dawn in terms of what will actually happen with Brexit in the end.

Last night, the DUP leader Arlene Foster announced that her party will not back Theresa May’s latest Brexit deal.

Speaking to Sky News, Ms Foster said although the party appreciates Ms May’s efforts in securing a deal. Her party cannot support the latest proposals as it doesn’t make any significant changes to the backstop.

It’s looking likely now that there could be a possibility of General Election before Brexit actually happens, there’s just far too much opposition to any deal going ahead at this point.

Ms Foster and the DUP have been opposed to Ms May’s previous deals also said the current deal would threaten the union of the United Kingdom.

The DUP leader told the broadcaster that her party couldn’t sign up to a deal that would damage the union.

She said that her party felt there were no significant changes to the backstop agreement and the prospect of a border in the Irish Sea is something that Northern Ireland can accept.

However despite rejecting the deal, Ms Foster said that there was still room for negotiation and it wasn’t a case of deal or no deal.

Theresa May has said that she will step down from her position if she can get enough MPs to push through her Brexit deal, but this is very unlikely.
