"I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely," Tusk said at a joint news conference with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. While Tusk was clear the EU would not reopen the divorce deal, he also said he still believed that a common Brexit solution was possible. At her meetings in Belfast, May tried to tackle the 'backstop', the main hurdle to a Brexit deal. May said she would seek an alternative arrangement which avoids the need for a hard border, or legally binding changes to the border backstop to introduce a time limit or create an exit mechanism. It would mean the United Kingdom remaining bound by EU market and customs rules so that goods would not have to be checked.
