Oh dear, oh dear...

It's been an eventful day in the world of politics. This morning everything looked promising as Ireland prepared itself for a "promising statement" from Leo Varadkar. Then, the wheels fell off and all hell broke loose. The deal that appeared to have been agreed this morning was no longer a runner in the afternoon, and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar took to a press conference to announce his surprise and disappointment at the turn of events. Varadkar has suggested that a deal had been agreed with the UK over the Irish border this morning but that the UK then backtracked on the agreement. To cap off what has been a frustrating day for negotiations, you get an insight into the knowledge of Irish politics from British MP Bernard Jenkin speaking on Sky News. https://twitter.com/Moorerichardpr/status/937800022158168068 Yep, you heard all of that correctly, former Taoiseach of Northern Ireland... and that's before we even get to this.
