Φυσικα προκειται για "φυλο συκης" για να δικαιολογησουν την αλλαγη στασης και να πουν οτι καλυτερα Brexit με μια κακη συμφωνια, παρα παραμονη. Αλλα ντροπη δεν εχουν, εδω θα κολλησουν;
Αν γινει αυτο, θα προκειται και για μια τελειως απροσμενη και τεραστια δικαιωση της στρατηγικης της Μέι, ασχετα απο τα λαθη που εκανε.
Παμε για γκολ στις καθυστερησεις ή για παραταση;

DUP 'not far away' from getting new backstop assurances from Geoffrey Cox, leading Tory claims
On Tuesday Geoffrey Cox, the attorney general, published his legal advice on the new backstop assurances obtained by the prime minister and his harsh conclusion - “the legal risk [of being kept in the backstop] remains unchanged” - sunk any slim chance Theresa May had of winning the vote on her deal.

The DUP and the European Research Group, which represents Tories pushing for a harder Brexit, are exploring whether Cox can give a view on whether article 62 of the Vienna convention could give the UK a let-out from the backstop. Article 62 says that, if there is a fundamental change of circumstances, a treaty can no longer apply.

Damian Green, the Conservative former first secretary of state, told Sky News that he had heard the DUP were “not far away” from getting the reassurance they needed.
Talking about the talks between Cox and the DUP, Green said:
I hear noises that it’s possibly close, that they are not far away from getting what they want.
If Cox does revise his advice to take account of article 62 of the Vienna convention, it will be surprising. He was asked about this in the Commons on Tuesday and, while he acknowledge that article 62 applied, he suggested it would be “unwise” or “wrong” to think it would help the UK with the backstop issue.
Philippe Sands, the law professor who says he has argued this point at the international court of justice, also says he does not see how article 62 would allow the UK to get out of the backstop.
Having argued (& lost) main ICJ case on #fundamentalchange and Art 62 VCLT, at a loss to see how it offers a way out of NI Protocol, as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg implies
