UK: As mentioned GBP turning bid on the Sun story that has reported that "The

DUP have privately decided to back Theresa May's Brexit deal next week when she

toughens it up, in a major breakthrough for No10. The Sun can reveal that

delicate deliberations are now ongoing between the Ulster unionist party's

leaders and the PM." Worth highlighting that the report states "They are close

to agreeing an amendment to another showdown Commons vote on Tuesday that would

curtail the unpopular Irish backstop - an insurance policy that divides the UK

into two different legal regimes if there is no EU trade deal in place by 2021.

In a crucial shift, it has emerged that the DUP are now willing to accept a

backstop as long as it's specifically time limited. In another twist last night,

Tory grandees told The Sun they have tabled a new Brexit plan of their own in a

bid to end the Conservatives' civil war." Likely a non-starter with the EU, with

EU chief negotiator Barnier repeatedly noting that the backstop cannot be time

limited.
