Brexit: Suddenly, it looks as though pigs might actually fly

A few days ago reports in Brussels said that EU leaders were prepared for a dramatic Johnson walk-out st the next weeks EU Council.

According to Irish Times a senior Irish Government source speculated on the chances of a deal by saying, “you should never say never even pigs might fly”.

Pat Leahy, political editor at Irish Times, today write in the paper that “suddenly, in the space of a few hours, everything changed. When Taoiseach Leo Varadkar emerged from his lengthy meeting with British prime minister Boris Johnson near Liverpool on Thursday afternoon, few observers had any expectations that the two men would report any progress”

Pigs might not be exactly flying yet, but they were certainly snuffling their way towards the runway.

He continues, “The two men spent about three hours together – some of it with their senior officials, some of it with just each other – and some sort of very significant breakthrough took place. When the meeting concluded, they released a joint statement which said they had “agreed they could see a pathway to a possible deal”.
