Michael D’Arcy: Britain failed in ‘divide and conquer’ strategy
D’Arcy said the support of the remaining 26 EU states had been crucial in arriving at last week’s deal
Minister of State for Finance Michael D’Arcy has said the united front from other EU states prevented the British government from adopting a “divide and conquer” strategy over Brexit.
He said the support of the remaining 26 EU states had been crucial in arriving at last week’s deal, which contained a pledge from the British government that it would keep the status quo in place in the North to avoid a hard border.
