Need to split this article

UK/EU negotiations have finally resumed. Negotiators met on Wednesday 28/8 and "will continue twice a week".^[1]

But here's the problem: the article as it stands is about gyrations and machinations in Parliament and the Conservative Party, not about negotiations. It seems to me that a new home needs to be found for all that stuff - it is valuable but in the wrong article. (a) Do others agree? And (b) If so, what should we call that article? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 08:03, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody wants to write up https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/brexit/boris-johnson-eu-time-limited-backstop-stormont-veto-sinn-fein-dup-649520 after details emerge from more reliable sources, then the relevant wiki article to reference is Cross-community vote, that's the one that requires a double majority. The report is a bit tabloidish, I can't see the Irish government explicitly naming Sinn Féin even though that would be the effect today. --Red King (talk) 12:46, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

new item

new article created, 2019 in United Kingdom politics and government. I know it's pretty late for this year, but this might be useful for items in 2020. --Sm8900 (talk) 16:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Essential information missing between 19/10 and 22/10

I have just noticed but don't have time to research, but we have nothing about the Johnson/Varadkar meeting or the subsequent negotiation that produced the revised WA that went on to be the final W Act. Can someone else fill in, please? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:30, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
