(19,986 posts)A British parliamentary amendment calling for the Irish backstop to be removed from the EU-UK divorce deal negotiated by Prime Minister Theresa May, and replaced with "alternative arrangements", would not be accepted by the bloc, an official in Brussels said today.
The official, who deals with Brexit and was speaking with Reuters on condition of anonymity, said May should know it was a non-starter given the EU's long-held position that the backstop - an emergency fix to keep the Irish border free of checks after Brexit - is a key part of the Brexit deal with London.
