Pictures of rural country lanes, farm yards and vehicle hire depots are making the rounds on social media to highlight the enormity of the Irish border problem.

Mark Sugrue shared a collection of images grabbed from across the border that will separate the EU and the United Kingdom if the backstop is struck from the agreement.

New Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the EU must scrap the backstop to avoid a no-deal Brexit, saying ‘can-do spirit’ can solve problem of Irish border.

He has put his faith in technological solutions to prevent a hard border been put in place, regaling the triumphs of NASA to underpin his point.

Writing in his final Daily Telegraph column he said: “If they could use hand-knitted computer code to make a frictionless re-entry to Earth’s atmosphere in 1969, we can solve the problem of frictionless trade at the Northern Irish border”.

But pictures shared on social media show that negotiators may have a tough job on their hands in finding a solution.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
