As they did in Gibraltar, as they did in Scotland, but both (apart from the SNP obviously) wish to be part of the U.K.. There is no ‘European’ identity, it is an amalgam of very different people indeed. You will have much less in common with Slavic peoples than you do with folk from Liverpool. Retaining an EU passport is not the same as a national identity, and of course the EU is not a nation.......
I more mean membership of the EU than a European identity. Clumsy wording on my part.

Yep, that's why Foster is strutting around at the moment like a Cheshire cat that's just had its cream. But the DUP's insignificance will disappear soon enough in the greater scheme of things.

Border issue holds up Brexit deal 'despite intense efforts'
Sunday, 14 Oct 2018
Talks between the UK's Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier today have failed to resolve the Irish border question, and negotiations have now been put on hold.
The unscheduled talks in Brussels today came amid speculation that officials working on the negotiations had reached a deal.
But following the meeting, Mr Barnier said that "despite intense efforts" there had been a failure to reach agreement on one of the trickiest aspects of the negotiations.
The surprise announcement of the meetings today fuelled rumours that a deal was set to be done ahead of a summit of EU leaders on Wednesday.
But after talks which lasted a little over an hour, it was clear that obstacles remained. Mr Barnier said "some key issues are still open", including the so-called backstop measure to prevent a hard border.
British and EU negotiators called a pause in their talks on a Brexit deal today, and will wait for the outcome of the summit before they resume negotiations.
Both sides now face the prospect of beginning the crunch summit without a draft divorce deal, increasing the chances of a disorderly and damaging British departure from the bloc.

...I wonder if the City of Liverpool could volunteer to be the Back-Stop solution that seems to be a stumbling block in negotiations. As a resident, i’d be happy if we stay a part of EU whilst being one step detached from Westminster centric politics. I also think it would be an amazing financial boost.
I’d vote for it.
I’d vote for it.

The bloodstock industry and the racing game seem to have concerns about the travel arrangements for horses.
Currently there is a special arrangement between England, Ireland and France re the free movement of racehorses but some newspaper articles are suggesting this will be at risk after Brexit.

..yep, there was an article by Marcus Armytage at the weekend saying Irish horses might not be able to compete in the Grand National. Not sure what it means for Cheltenham, but Australian and US horses run at Royal Ascot without any bother.
