Brexit tragi-comedy playing out - A tale of three cities

What could be the final act in the long tragic-comedy that is Brexit is being played out in three cities this week — Belfast, Brussels, and Washington.

Leo Varadkar was in Brussels yesterday to discuss plans for a no-deal departure by the UK. Theresa May is in Belfast, but her speech there on Tuesday upset Brexiteers by appearing to pull back from full rejection of the border backstop. She travels to Brussels tomorrow to put her case for varying the withdrawal agreement.
