Brexit: Belfast speech raises new reactions in May – Live politics | Policy

This morning, the Guardian addresses Theresa May's speech in Belfast, and how it threatens to reopen the Conservative Party's split on the Brexit and backstop.

Here is our story.

And here is the first page.

There is evidence that this morning the reaction against the speech continues. Nadine Dorries, Tory Brexiter, a prominent Tory, posted this on Twitter this morning.

May's speech and answers to questions and answers were intended to reassure those in Northern Ireland who fear the return of a hard border. But, according to the BBC Jayne McCormack, May managed to annoy the Brexiters without getting any credit from those on the other side of the discussion, Sinn Fein.

We will talk about this later, because May is meeting all the parties in Northern Ireland today, who are likely to report back after their closure.

Here is the agenda of the day.

8:35: Emily Thornberry, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the shadow, delivers a speech on the foreign policy of the Labor Party. As Patrick Wintour reports, she will say that a Labor government would not tolerate human rights violations committed by British allies or by governments that "call themselves" socialists ", but … betray all socialist ideals." There is a live stream here.

I'm trying to monitor BTL comments but it's impossible to read them all. If you have a direct question, include "Andrew" in it somewhere and I'm more likely to find it. I try to answer the questions, and if they are of general interest, I will post the question and respond to ATL, although I can not promise to do it for everyone.

If you want to get my attention quickly, it is probably best to use Twitter.
