Leo Varadkar ‘disappointed’ at Theresa May U-turn

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar expressed his “disappointment” at the decision of UK prime minister Theresa May to renege on the Irish backstop in the event of a disorderly Brexit.

He was speaking amid palpable anger among Irish ministers at Ms May’s U-turn and also the ongoing “gameplaying” by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on the Brexit issue.
