#Brexit deal hits the rocks – @markdevenport on how the talks broke down #BBCNolan

A seismic shock in the political worlds of Westminster and Brussels yesterday as the DUP scuppered a deal between the UK government and the EU to move Brexit negotiations forward.

Prime Minister Theresa May will brief her Cabinet this morning over what went wrong and what will happen next.

Discussions stalled dramatically yesterday when the DUP - who of course support the government -- rejected a proposed solution to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
