The EU seems to want a quicker UK exit than the UK itself at the moment. The timeframe after Article 50 in invoked is two years but its the renegotiation of political and trade agreements between Britain and the EU, and the removal of adoption of European laws and commercial red tape that will take much longer.

I suspect some people in the NI Assembly will be watching what happens in Edinburgh over the weeks and months that follow.

There talking now about reopening border controls between the North and South and all that entails.
