<p>Following a call between Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel, a Number 10 source said the German Chancellor had made it clear that the EU had taken a “new position” following the tabling of the latest UK plan last week.</p>
<p><em>“She made clear a deal is overwhelmingly unlikely and she thinks the EU has a veto on us leaving the customs union,”</em> the source, quoted by Sky News, said.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel is said to have told the Prime Minister that Northern Ireland is the UK’s “special problem” and that the Irish Republic must at least have a veto on it leaving the customs union.</p>
<p><em>“It was a very useful clarifying moment in all sorts of ways,”</em> the source said.<em> “If this represents a new established position, then it means a deal is essentially impossible, not just now but ever.</em></p>
<p><em>“It also made clear that they are willing to torpedo the Good Friday Agreement.”</em></p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">No British Government could ever accept Germany telling us that part of the UK has to stay in the EU. </p>
<p>The choice now is clear: A clean break Brexit, or stay in a new militarised empire. </p>
<p>Time to choose freedom.</p>

<p>For Labour, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said the comments represented a “cynical attempt” by Number 10 to “sabotage” the negotiations.</p>
<p><em>“Boris Johnson will never take responsibility for his own failure to put forward a credible deal. His strategy from day one has been for a no-deal Brexit,”</em> he said.</p>
