A flotilla of barges would be sent to the coast of Northern Ireland with energy generators after Brexit to keep the region’s lights on in the event of no deal, according to reports on Wednesday.


This is all very 1984.

That article doesn't seem to explain why power would be cut off in Northern Ireland? does it come from the South?

Edit. I somehow missed the paragraph that stated it comes from the republic.

I still don't understand why they're so hell bent on omitting services. Do they think sacrificing services means they can cherry pick no freedom of movement?

Yep

If anything they should be sacrificing goods, not services. Serviced are a way bigger part of the economy.

Not that it matters. The EU are just going to tell us to strawberry float off with this cherrypicking bullshit. All this is doing is laying more groundwork to blame the EU rather than leave voters and Brexit supporting MPs
