The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris update Theresa May's Brexit saga, which appears to be heading for a hard March deadline.
The Irish border dispute is the latest Brexit misstep, that May has yet to solve, with no leadership capacity to solve. More Ministers are resigning from May's government, and big trouble lies ahead for the UK due to May's mishandling of Brexit negotiations.

With a hard Brexit deadline fast approaching in approximately 150 days in March 2019, one question is never far from UK front page headlines: How will May solve a problem like the Irish border?
Via Zerohedge ()...
Understanding the controversy surrounding the Brexit "backstop" - and why the issue of avoiding a hard border in Northern Ireland has become such an intractable sticking point - can be difficult for non-Europeans (and, indeed, even some Europeans who haven't closely followed the meandering negotiations).
According to the FT, Britain wants to avoid measures that could divide Northern Ireland and London, so keeping Northern Ireland in the EU customs Union while the rest of the UK leaves is a political non-starter for conservatives and members of the Democratic Unionist Party, the party in Northern Ireland that is helping to prop up May's conservative government. The party's leader recently said a customs border in the middle of the Irish Sea would be tantamount to "annexation" by Europe.
May and her government hope that the deal will win enough support to incentivize Barnier to call a summit of EU leaders to hammer out the language of a final deal that has a solid chance of passing Parliament.
Of course, no matter the text of the deal, Parliament still has the power to send negotiators back to square one which, this late in the game, would almost certainly lead to a "no deal" Brexit. Though May and her team are setting a "hard" deadline for the end of the month, observers can rest assured that, in reality, every deadline is a "soft" deadline. May and her team have little choice but to continue negotiations until the very last minute, at which point either a deal will emerge, or it won't.
