You say that a Customs Union wouldn't be on the table except for the DUP? Really?
I remember reading an article a while ago, while there are 1000s of businesses trading across the border (this would include sole traders) there are less than 70 companies that trade between N.I and the UK. The value of those 70 companies would far exceed the value of the "Eire" trade. From a logistics point-of-view, it would be much simpier to have the border in the Irish Sea, but I perfectly understand why the DUP would never allow that. Hence we now are looking at a customs union for the whole of the UK.
