  1. That is a core concept of the EU: being able to feed itself. And it is a business model of the USA: flooding a foreign market with cheap food to destroy national agriculture, than increase the prices because people will pay to not starve.

  2.    Varadkar, Merkel, Macron, all invited Johnson. But he refused and put preconditions before he even wants to talk. It is the UK refusing to negotiate. The backstop is a safety net, therefor it can neither have an end date nor being left unilaterally, because then it would not be a backstop. The second an alternative arrangement is found is ceases to apply, and as all Brexiters said this would be easy, what do you fear?

  3.    The backstop was an UK proposal. It is designed after the wishes of the UK. It is hated in the EU, particularly Germany, as it gives UK businesses an advantage. But it was accepted due to concerns for peace in Ireland. What is the alternative? How do you ensure that no border controls are necessary in Ireland? Do you have a suggestion?

  4.    The Swiss border is a hard border with custom posts and infrastructure. I have a great video suggestion to show you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hWQ0T10v6Y Furthermore, Switzerland is deeply integrated in the EU, paying budget contributions, following EU law and accepting Freedom of movement and ECJ rulings. Do you propose a similar model for the UK? Why do you oppose the backstop then, where the UK is far less integrated into the EU?

  5. First they have to reapply to get certain certificates and this alone will take up to 9 months before they are allowed to export to the EU again.

  6.    Would you mind answering my question? How will an Irish border be prevented? What is the alternative plan?

  7. What about the past performance of the current cabinet gives you this certainty?
