You can deal the Irish border question before trade talks start, after all Brexiters were telling us it wouldn't be an issue.
The government has already ruled out the prospect of either staying in the single market or the customs union. So either they're going to give a exemption to Ireland or they are not. Where your border starts is not a topic for a trade deal.

I'd have less of a probme with that if they wanted to stay in but they don't and what they're doing is pure cynical opportunism.

Maybe it's time for the people who led the Vote Leave campaign to tell us their ideas for all these problems they said wouldn't be issue instead of blaming people on the losing side who are now out of office anyway.
They wanted this, they're in charge, this is their responsbility. Suddenly Ireland is going to be a problem, as anyone would have guessed, and they're blaming everyone else. They've had a year and a half. Where is their answer?
