Boris Johnson is warned a 'catastrophic' No Deal Brexit will trigger a referendum on reunifying Ireland

Bob Furman - It seems you can intuitively understand obvious concepts which leave Boris Johnson clueless as he insists on presiding over the dismantling of the United Kingdom.


In a tense call with Irish Prime Minister, Mr Varadkar, yesterday Mr Johnson made clear that the EU must agree to scrap the hated backstop - designed to avoid a hard border if no other solution can be found - for negotiations to re-start.

But speaking to the Irish Mirror today, the Taoiseach (PM) said he was 'absolutely not' going to give in to the demand.

'You know Ireland isn't going to be bullied on this issue and as a Government and as a country, I think we are going to stick by our position. Brexit wasn't our idea,' he said.

Boris Johnson clashed with Sinn Fein in tense talks at Stormont today as he was warned 'catastrophic' No Deal Brexit would make a referendum on reunifying the island of Ireland inevitable. During a gruelling first visit to Northern Ireland as PM, Johnson pledged to honour the 'letter and spirit' of the Good Friday Agreement as he pushes through the UK's departure from the EU which will make a hard border inevitable.

Mr Johnson faced fury after again insisting that Brexit must happen by the end of October 'come what may'. Speaking after her discussions with the premier in Belfast, Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald said Boris Johnson views the island of Ireland as 'collateral damage' and thus we warned him a referendum on reunification was looming.
