DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds rails against backstop ‘con trick’
Dodds: ‘Even in the event of a so-called no-deal scenario a hard border won’t happen’
DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds: “Hypocrisy of those espousing the current withdrawal agreement with its trap of a backstop has been completely exposed.”
The Government’s contingency plan for a no-deal Brexit demonstrated that the demands for a backstop to avoid a hard border with Northern Ireland are an “utter con trick”, DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds has said.
The MP said Dublin had “admitted” there would be no Border checks on goods, while the European Commission in its planning “avoids spelling out what happens on the Border”.
