Dublin Risks Driving U.K. Into No-Deal Brexit, DUP Says

The Irish government is pushing the U.K. toward crashing out of the European Union without a deal, according to Jeffrey Donaldson, a key lawmaker representing the Democratic Unionist Party, which holds the balance of power at Westminster.

The question of keeping the Irish border invisible has shaped the entire Brexit negotiation process, with the so-called backstop ultimately costing Theresa May her premiership. The DUP wants to kill the backstop, because they say it risks creating a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K.
