position to accommodate the demands of europe and it's impossible then to do a deal with someone when you show such weakness on them i think that the prime minister has at this stage and i got to consider does she take her heels and though she even tear back some of the compromises he's already offered to the e.u. and say ok what we're going to fight a fight that's mine and we'll get the sort of i mean no march you will finally stop paying the consequences your german carmakers will pay the consequences france's french winemakers will pay the consequences the irish economy will pay the consequences because it will lose its mean market in the g. b. and g. b. where we're up for a fight fighting talk there from sammy wilson now by one single independent unionist all of northern ireland same piece sitting in the commons are democratic unionists this is because it has been a long standing tradition of northern ireland second largest partition fain to abstain from sitting at westminster despite the election of seven m.p.'s however

there is no such part of them taking their seats in the door island dublin or in the european parliament city earlier this year to alex she'd been leader made aliya mcdonald explain their stance an abstention isn't westminster either push to ireland in europe it's a new leadership in theory and when you look at the the strong influence the decisive position of the democratic unionist reformer one hundred full of m.p.'s not having the house of commons are you tempted to profess to abstentions policy and make up a forty into the parcel westminster and upset the back so awful can't know we don't take our seats we continue in that transition because for us irish political decisions are to be made rightfully in our in and for irish people thirty years of troubles twenty years of peace but of course a but it's a process which some people believe is a fundamental danger to the peace process. how do you evaluate. bragg's and the

good friday agreement are mutually incompatible you cannot have brags that you cannot have a forcing of the north of ireland of the european union on the one hand and still claim to honor in word and spares and lesser the good friday agreement is in our view as stark as the last and i listened to theresa may and i listened to others from the english tories saying. don't worry about the border in ireland ireland will be fine on the one hand and then insisting that britain will leave the customs union leave to single marcus and so on and of course the reality is that those two positions are completely as odds with each other i think the tories have played a very dangerous game no way can our and or should darren and or will argument be the collateral damage in the midst of all of the us. the idea of reimposing

a border on the island is not just economically disruptive it's potentially jeopardizes the entire political infrastructure of the good friday agreement the executive itself in the north the assembly the northern institutions are built on our premised on the notion of european standards and regulations and lol so this is a big problem for us bragg's this is a disaster and i would not say that the do you. have what i what i would understand are considered to be a position of huge strengths i think they they find themselves as a particular moment in time with a particular mathematical relationship don't get me wrong i think this confidence and supply arrangement between the tories and the day is. is wrong

i think it absolutely compromises the british government's claims to impartiality or independence i think is highly problematic from that point of view it's one of the of the political consequences of bricks that this provision of course or from the peace accords for a referendum or my own under certain circumstances and i wish unity is it your opinion the blood makes such a referendum very likely or indeed inevitable at some stage i think it demonstrated very clearly just how vulnerable the north of ireland is in the within the union because let's face it the people in the north voted to stay and yet that could be totally disregards and i know for rules a scenario where investment into arlen's the economic activity right across the island people born on the island of ireland. who take for granted the fact

that they can do simple things like travel throughout europe like europe is people's hinterland now people have grown up with the. access for education for work and so on but even unionist politicians of advising people who cares are a fiver as well precisely precisely because these are things that people value i wouldn't go so far as to say that it makes irish unity inevitable but i certainly think it underscores the common sense of the united are and the common sense of actually managing our own political affairs and not allowing other forces beyond you to actually overrule and override decisions democratic decisions made by the people i think that it sets that are very clearly i was speaking to mary lou mcdonald in dublin earlier this year but this week she was buck in front of the

house of commons delivering a press briefing after a meeting with the prime minister she turned to the subject that one unintended consequence of or no deal bret's that could be to provoke conditions for the poor an irish unity in northern ireland after say theresa may took her fees really to say nothing terribly new. i think it's worth remembering that. from the outset when the article fifty process was triggered and when the negotiations started everybody accepted including the british government that there was a particular case to be bait for ireland that there is a particular. the border about the entrusts of our island north and south and that there was a common and shared to objective to protect the good friday agreement and all of its parts to avoid any hardening of the border and to ensure no to me a new of citizens' rights mrs may for that i'm very high on happy to

record that since that time the british government have rolled back on those commitments and we can only surmise that passes on the say so of the d u p a parsi who do not represent our right to kill a did you of the majority of people in the north of ireland who voted to remain so we've heard this evening at mrs may talk about a temporary backstop a temporary answer that we need to be absolutely clear that breaks this itself is not a transitory events the consequences of us will be long. and will be deep and so the backstop arrangement the answers to the questions for ireland have to be ensuring the idea of a time bind or a temporary little arrangement simply will not cut the mustard and if mrs may hitches her wagon to the most extreme brags to tears including the d u p i think

this history will judge her very badly we're now at crunch time these are times of history these are times of big decision and it would not be acceptable for mrs may to act purely for political expediency whether that's to hold her goal from and to her party to gather what your. right now from here is big leadership at long term leadership she has to do the right thing by our unions and nothing short of cash will suffice and let me also say this too to those of a unionist persuasion who perhaps mice wish for a hard bragg's us end to misguided belief that that somehow resolves the issue of the border in ireland let me say this if there is a crash if there is a hard spraggs us what then there will be an immediate demand for a referendum and i appreciate and i see it would not be. in any way except of a that all of the damage of

a hard break be visited on the islands of ireland and for the british government to accept ireland north and south to simply take that on the chin and be philosophical about it so if there is a section of unionism and i've heard this articulation very irresponsibly by some who believe that actually are hard breaks this is a good day out for the union i would say to them think again think long and the thing current is clear but both should say in under do you mean business in terms of this blacks that struggle so join us after the break in the latest thinking from the democrat unionist party i think scuppered last week's don't leave. anything in which they appear to settle.

in a world of big partisan. laws and conspiracies it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories. that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yes this is what happens to pensions in britain

delegates. watch kaiser report. it's. truly job to.

welcome back after the dramatic intervention of the g.d.p. last week threatening if necessary to vote in the government's budget next month the full at the weekend to confuse. and threatened resignations and not just in the usual breakfast suspects but from some peta slick considered loyal to the prime minister in a statement on monday theresa may tried to buy time still under pressure from all sides but in particular from the d p a which she confirmed it single market customs union the u.k. leaving the e.u. together with new park high you've got off either in the single market or customs union differences here the u.k. leaves the united kingdom but when the u.k. leaves the european union it will be the u.k. that leaves the european union we will be leaving the european union together i'm

very clear there should be no hard border between northern ireland and island but as we've put forward proposals we can deliver on that and maintain the integrity of our union and of course what we're looking at in relation to the and we made that very clear when the european union made their proposal that would effectively have carved northern ireland away from the rest of the united kingdom in their backstop proposal it's precisely because we cannot accept their backstop to a backstop because they continue to want to work to want to see that in fact what we want to see in a backstop is a situation where northern ireland businesses can both export freely to the great britain and to the european union actually that would be a good position for all the northern ireland this is alex spoke to senior d.p.m. ph and shannon to have his assessment on whether the crisis has passed for nag. can i take you back to last december when the democratic unionist. the prime

minister of the dangers of the so-called. do you believe the. disappointment we are where we are because we felt that. we had made our position very very clear unfortunately we have had a lot of. discussions with rumors and. allegations and stories but things been pretty clear this week has been a difficult week this week probably will be the culmination of where we are we're not happy with where the direction that the prime minister is indicating. and we're very clear we are that we. want to be treating. everybody else. you would be prepared to withdraw support from the.

political to. be dead and the agricultural. leader we met last week we. on the agricultural. we were against the bell as such but because we need the government and we didn't tell them in advance we were very clear that we are prepared to push. in the wrong direction. but. told us last week. to get. well i would suggest to the prime minister that. with. the rest of the. we only have one option and not one option unfortunately

it's not the one i want to see. as a whole despite the opposition. the other. i'm not represented in the house of commons either because. the. position does not give you a response ability to represent all of the opinion of. not just be position which was only supported by a minority a sizeable minority but still a minority. and. because of a strong. community a. majority of. that vote. but remember that as.

the. regional vote. there for the taken. and. so how do we how do we move forward some of my colleagues and some of my friends would be of the opinion that we should be trying to get a deal with the e.u. that's what i want the prime minister to my party leader. here are. to do but if we can't get them we have to look at the consequences that. can bring a conclusion successful conclusion. and those talks can finally. streets . if you did a boat that is that they believe you wouldn't kinds of the general election and the

potential to make government for use be known to be on the left if you have. to buy the thing but for many of your colleagues that would be the end is that the reason why the government up until now has been complacent about the attitude of the democratic unionist. i'm not sure. how government got themselves in a box of their own. but as i said to someone they were not afraid of elections. we take our money get to the people and we let the people decide better if there was an election to be honest i don't think it's. from either side with a few exceptions to that i certainly don't have any wish to see jeremy carbon and the position of our prime minister or government whatever it may be i believe the prime minister at this moment if he looks at where she is on course. and

carefully and in cooperation with the i think we can find a way forward but she's got to respect this. he's got a. job thank you very much i came in with a thank you. to provide an analysis of the week where island has once again dominated the bracks. alex spoke to john tong professor of british and irish politics at the university of john welcome back to the. pleasure. some people because it surprised by the the vehemence both the democratic unionist party state the position of the. last week in this program last week or even nigel dog in the in the commons with the prime minister on monday what lies behind strong statement of position. i don't think we should be surprised that the u.p.a. has always been an anti european union party and that the u.p.a. is always believe that northern ireland must be an integral part of the united

kingdom in constitutional and economic terms of course that the pisa ports divergence in other respects on issues like same sex marriage and abortion but in constitutional terms that the u.p.a. fears that anything that aligns northern ireland more closely with the e.u. and in this case the republic of ireland given what's proposed in respect to the border that's the slippery slope to united ireland than the d u p as the hard line eunice party that it is will not countenance anything like that despite the fact that northern ireland voted as a whole in favor of remaining they do you don't seem to have tempered the policy against the european union at all nor do they seem frightened of another general election certainly not fright of an election because the have medically sealed boxes the northern islands ethnic blocs that the u.p.a. will still be top dog amongst yunis if there was to be a general election tomorrow that the e.p. would probably return with ten seats possibly eleven seats so the piece and don't

feel the general election secondly the outcome of a general election may well be a hung parliament again so the d.p. could potentially still have influence certainly the conservatives with the largest party and the d.p. are bluffing when they say they will vote things down or like a budget conservative budget i think that's part of the reason that treat them a won't conclude any sort of agreement with the anyway given that cannot get its budget through the house of commons is frankly a government power lies you can't do anything you can't approve any expenditure you can't even approve payments the european union that will form part of the divorce settlement so the d.p.s. position is very very very important indeed the only way they could be bypassed would be of treason may could come up with a leave package that attracted the support of labor and. he's on the opposite side there was up a moment just a moment in the prime minister's statement last monday where she seemed to suggest to be that they could actually end up in

a preferential position to the rest of the united kingdom with full free trade with the u.k. market and preferential access to the european market but that's not something even a preferential position that they do you get interested in northern ireland could actually enjoy a boom time if the d.p. would relent on this position but the d.p. have this almost paranoid fear which you know admittedly is partly a consequence of the legacy of the troubles that they are being you know the deeds of trans fair. been placed upon them to force them ever closer to the outer public and eventually united ireland that they're being shipped out of the united kingdom goes down the road that she has tentatively proposed and certainly hinted at tonight on dogs in a statement last monday so if you're thinking about this jewel alliance developing between the scottish conservatives and the democratic unionist party would it be

fair to say that the scottish conserves and the do you have in common that they will never never never accept economic profound because they feel the political consequences to the union. yes constitutional politics from everything else for both of those parties the d. u. p. talks about northern ireland's position in the united kingdom being threatened on an almost daily basis davidson says she never wants to hear anything more about an independence referendum but she daily talks about constitutional politics and has tried to mobilize the anti independence vote behind her party thinking about the developments or lack of them from a fein perspective that the second largest party in northern ireland the third largest party in the public of people in shouldn't fear in a poll jealous that the influence that the do you have at westminster which they can never have a substantial this party or do they think that the way things are the slog might

work to the benefit of their ambitions for a united ireland. chivvied been hugely critical of the d.p. relationship with the conservatives at westminster they argue it's a partisan relationship which isn't any good for the people northerners or as a whole and it's to the detriment of the nationalist community yes there have been voices that have said why don't the shin fein why don't you take your seats at westminster your your seven seats to which you're entitled on the basis of sheen feigns mandate but it's too big a step for him for him to swear an oath of allegiance to a british monarch it will be very hypocritical of him fain to do that it would also be very divisive within shin fein you need a two thirds majority within the party for them to take their seats so it certainly isn't going to happen in the short and medium terms if it ever happens professor john tong thank you very much indeed my pleasure. in the run up to last christmas to resume a thought she had clocked the first phase of the blacks at the goal she actions

only to be pulled up short by a flag of convenience friends in the d.c.u. be in the said that she ignored the advice of all of them blacks are said to david davis by keeping our allies out of the loop until the very last minute the ghost of christmas past let the prime minister off of a humiliating delay a warning and some big u.s. words on the backstop. it seems unlikely that the ghost of christmas present will let off so lightly the images presented to the prime minister for this winter are not appealing there is no commons majority for the checkers fudge or anything that resembles that the only way to avoid the unpalatable choice between an eye this border and an eye they see barbara is to stand the single market and the customs union ironically the may be a parliamentary majority for the us but it would split the conservative party asunder meanwhile to pursue a basic trade deal of color the plus might itself good though to defeat in the

commons and it would represent the final political humiliation of facing defeat on someone else's policy conservative m.p.'s might conclude if that's to be the direction of approach it would be better advocated by someone who actually believes in it for three some a chop between a brussels backstop and some northern irish hard cases life is far from easy she would be forgiven for believing that things could hardly be more difficult however she should remember that the most terrifying spectrum that the kids in story is not the ghost of christmas past or present but the spirit of what is yet to come. now if that wasn't enough for the embattled by the stuff next week shall we examine for all of us a fall the looming celtic problem for me is the good ship but steaming towards the scottish iceberg in the form of a legal case which could blow the european debate white open. unity and reform
