Great Britain's hopes of reaching an agreement with the European Union on post-Brexit are lengthening: the conservative newspaper "The Telegraph" writes, which has come into possession of a confidential document from the European Commission on the future status of the border of Northern Ireland. The memorandum, according to the newspaper, was prepared by the Republic of Ireland and asks that even after the divorce the United Kingdom remains part of the European customs union, in order to avoid the re-establishment of the Northern Irish border. If the EU were to accept the Irish request as a condition for an agreement to be reached with Great Britain at the European summit in December, according to the "Telegraph" this would cause a deep rift in the British government, sparking the revolt of the most Eurosceptic wing of the Party conservative; this hypothesis would also be seen as a real provocation by the Northern Irish unionists, definitively destroying the possibility in Northern Ireland of a re-edition of the regional coalition government between the Protestants of the Democratic unionist party (Dup) and the Republican Catholics of Sinn Fein, the political heirs of the IRA. In short, a new grain for British Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government in London is based precisely on the votes of the Northern Irish Dup. And it is a grain that comes just at the moment when the premier hoped to be able to break the deadlock in the negotiations with the EU on Brexit, raising the possibility of an increase in her offer for the balance of the divorce account: this is revealed by the The Financial Times, according to which there are signs that the more Eurosceptic wing of the Conservative Party could tolerate a larger outlay from Britain to break that stalemate. So far, the newspaper notes, there has been no significant progress on this monetary aspect in the sixth round of Gb-EU negotiations which will end in Brussels today Friday 10 November: but the two sides have sketched the "choreography" of a possible agreement that be reached in December and in which Great Britain's financial commitment will necessarily have to be included in the more general framework of the principles that will govern the post-Brexit transition period; and according to the "Financial Times" the British government is in fact working on a substantial increase in the money supply that May has already put on the table.
