I wasn’t paying attention earlier today, have I got this right? The ROI won’t allow progress on a Brexit deal that doesn’t keep NI aligned with the EU, no border controls. If the UK government tries to agree a deal that treats NI differently from the rest of the UK, the DUP will bring down the government. The obvious solution (if you absolutely must keep up the pretence that you’ve left the EU) is a Norwegian-style EEA deal, but the Tory Brexit headbangers will bring down the government. It’s almost as if no one thought all this through before the referendum. Maybe we should just just admit it can’t be done and call it off?

Pretty much, but we can't continue regulatory alignment due to the hard Brexiters- aka a group of millionaires with their money off-shore, hidden from HMRC, who are shitting themselves about the upcoming EU regs on -you guessed it- hiding your cash from the tax authorities.
