‘How dare he!’ ex-EU chief enraged over Brexit border remark ‘Put in your own territory’

Mr Lamy’s division, on the other hand, may not reflect the EU’s new role in upholding the spirit and letter of the Good Friday Agreement, which it did not have to worry about before Brexit.

The EU will almost certainly have to accept that its foreign policy will now have to include provisions for maintaining stability along its westernmost border.

“If this is about how many toothbrushes [should be subject to checks], this is solvable,” Mr Lamy continued.

“If it’s about whether or not there should be a border between the EU and Ireland, that’s not negotiable because the British people decided that when they voted for Brexit.”
