The bargaining chip shtick didn't work with citizen rights (though in effect we are ALL worse off, Brits abroad and no Irish EU citizens here)
Things is though that the backpedalling either become mega impossible due to the posturing OR everybody gets fooled anyway, after all after the bus and "take back control" I don't get the impression they care about honest engagement and truth and such minor details.
NI has been thrown under the Wrightbus too (the backstop was nonsense but better) so Gibraltar, cha...probably dispensable too.
