After months of stasis there is a bit of activity. First off sources in the DUP have hinted that they are willing to move their brexit red lines. Where the red lines are moving to nobody knows, but we can be sure it’s something devious and probably involves money.
Johnson has been blocked from acting unilaterally and the DUP cannot deliver a majority, so their negotiating position has been very seriously weakened.
Then, second off, apparently unconnected, Boris has proposed an Ireland Scotland bridge as a solution to the backstop. Again nobody knows how that solution is supposed to work.
No one seriously believes that Johnson ha any intention of doing this least of all Johnson
Of course, when Scotland becomes independent and returns to EU membership the Boris Bridge border will no longer be necessary. Will that be problem solved?
Interesting to see which will happen first, Scottish referendum for independence or Irish referendum for unification. I would bet on Scotland personally.

Maybe they’re going to paint two red lines half way across the bridge and set up set up their border posts there instead of the ones in the middle of the Irish Sea that everyone was so much objecting to.
