Unionists don’t really believe their own invective on the backstop

I should be writing about today’s budget this morning. But there’s nothing to say, really. If it’s remembered at all, this is going to be remembered as the Brexit Budget.

Assuming Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe avoids any egregious banana skins in his budget speech today (always a risk, as we know from experience), we’ll probably all end up acknowledging that he did the least he had to do and the most he could.
