Brexit: Dublin dismisses backstop pressure talk as 'codswallop'
There is a weary sense of "here we go again" among Irish government officials dealing with Brexit about briefings coming from London that Dublin is under pressure from other EU members about the backstop to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
The backstop is the insurance policy in the withdrawal agreement between the United Kingdom and European Union, designed to ensure that there is no hard border on the island of Ireland.
Both sides say they hope it never has to come into effect and that it will become redundant because of a wider trade deal.

This clearly shows what an utter shambles the position regarding a backstop is.
I doubt there will be any agreement at all, especially from the EU side because they have a copy of the 'surrender document' Theresa May foolishly signed so why should they?
Only possible outcome will be leave without a deal or rescind Article 50.
