No I had a fair idea! The coverage of them after the last election made it clear how hardline they are.
But given that, how can May possibly imagine given her government's position that she can negotiate on matters affecting the Good Friday agreement without involving them?
Same reason she announced the deal with the DUP 10 days before the DUP agreed to it.
Either way, every single one of her gambles have back fired on her and it's hilarious. The two alternatives are another election - which will not go down well over Christmas - or a colossal fudge which will keep no one happy unless you want a soft Brexit which is inherently a rubbish middle ground.
Out of all the reasons for the talks to fail, you'd think the issue of the border would be something the UK government could actually have a detailed plan in place for well ahead of time compared to the financial obligations or citizens rights.
