The EU reportedly kept in close contact with MP's in Britain as the deal was negotiated so they knew their deal was dead on arrival before they signed it.

Obviously PM May knew her party was dead set against the deal the second she signed it. The Northern Ireland piece betrayed her own promises to her DUP confidence and supply partners.

So why did they sign it? Why did May allow two months to waste before voting on it?
