If NI remained in the single market and customs union it would effectively be tethered to Ireland with the same laws and standards, and there would be a hard border between NI and the rest of the UK. England would have abandoned NI and the government would collapse without DUP support.

UK aerospace firms are already losing out on business due to the Brexit vote, MPs have heard. As the Press Association reports, Simon Henley, president-elect of the Royal Aeronautical Society, said companies are being stopped from bidding for contracts as part of the Galileo satellite programme because it is funded by the European Union.

Net borrowing was 8 billion pounds ($10.6 billion) compared with 7.5 billion pounds a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics said Tuesday. Economists had expected it to narrow to 7.1 billion pounds, the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey showed.
Debt costs jumped 25 percent from a year earlier, the most for the month since 2007, to 6 billion pounds as rising prices made servicing index-linked bonds more expensive.

Sir Edward Leigh, today.
There's been a cosy consensus so far in this debate that everything about European human rights is wonderful and we want to transfer it into our own law.
Actually, many of us think that the advancement of European so-called human rights has been at the detriment of the rights of other people, particularly religious people, to find their own space.
When we retain or regain Parliamentary sovereignty in this House and through our democracy we can start asserting the right to real human rights.
It can't be stopped, but something like EFTA can keep us in the mainstream. As I always say, where are Labour?

Arlene Foster is evil. I fucking hate her I hate her redneck bigots and stupid fucking farmers party. Ireland should be working with Westminster to find solutions to Brexit? We’ve fucking told them what the solution is Eyebrows. Corrupt to her big slab fingerprints, representative of Prods only. What a leader.
The worst thing is her attacks on the Irish Govt today make me side with Leo and the Merchant Prince. I feel dirty.

Can't link, but:
The Sports Minister Tracey Crouch thinks people have had enough of the "daily commentary" on the UK's EU departure.
She tells HuffPost UK people urge her in the street to "ask the BBC to stop reporting on Brexit".
"They want us to do it, they want us to get on with it. I'm not sure they necessarily want the daily commentary on it," she says.
With this in mind, she recently wrote her weekly newspaper column on The Great British Bake Off instead.
"The only Brexit they care about is getting the bread out of the oven in time," it said.
