Arlene Foster warns Theresa May following a dubious deal around Brexit

The DUP leader has warned the prime minister not to accept a "shady" deal on Brexit, which she will regret later.

Arlene Foster drew an explicit parallel with the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement.

The agreement, signed by Margaret Thatcher, gave the Irish government a formal advisory role in Northern Ireland.

Ms. Foster said that Mrs. Thatcher "deeply regretted later the choice she had made".

Many historians see the Anglo-Irish agreement as a development that has contributed to the peace process.

At the time, he faced huge, sometimes violent opposition from trade unionists and loyalists in Northern Ireland.

In the Belfast Telegraph, the head of the DUP declares: "We do not want nor need the regrets of another Prime Minister.

"We want her to stay true to her principles and instincts rather than accept a shady contract that has been imposed on her by others."

The article essentially reaffirms DUP's opposition to any Brexit support arrangement, according to which Northern Ireland would remain in the EU's single market while the rest of the UK that would be fine.

This would require standard controls on certain products coming from Northern Ireland from Northern Ireland.

Ms. Foster said, "Such a barrier is at the heart of what is at stake here.

"The United Kingdom is a country, there should be no international-style borders."

Ms. Foster's comments come at a critical juncture in the Brexit negotiations.

Ms Foster has previously stated that the Prime Minister could not "in good conscience" recommend an agreement on Brexit that would constitute a barrier to trade for companies transporting goods from one part of the United Kingdom to another.

Theresa May relies on DUP support in key votes because she does not have a majority in the House of Commons.

The DUP said it could vote the government's budget later this month.
