//... the only bit of tweaking that May's deal will get... is that the legal advice over the Backstop will change to make it easier for the DUP and European Research Group to swallow//
Happening as we speak.
This from the fragrant Melanie Phillips (hope I'm not infringing copyright):
//The Attorney is apparently changing his legal advice! The Times reports he has suddenly discovered a whole new international means of exiting the backstop! It says:
“Under a potential deal the government would legislate to give parliament the power to unilaterally pull out of the Irish backstop should MPs determine it had become permanent.
“Mr Cox would also issue supplementary legal advice making clear that if the backstop became permanent then that would constitute a “fundamental change of circumstance” under the Vienna Convention.
“…A senior Brexiteer said that the DUP and many in the ERG could have voted with the government on Tuesday had Mr Cox referenced Article 62 of the convention in his official advice. Asked why he had not, they replied: ‘Incompetence.’
“…Under the plan, Mr Cox would submit additional written legal advice to parliament saying the UK has the power to unilaterally exit the Irish backstop under Article 62 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This says that a state can pull out of a treaty if there is a “fundamental change in the circumstances” to the “basis of consent” that allowed the treaty to be agreed.”//

"It is not the EU who will tweak the deal.It is May herself before she brings it back next week."
And this is the problem. We(May) cannot dictate to the EU what they do. Negotiation is a two way thing.
"Yeah this is all because of remainers.. "
It is. Thre was no question on my ballot paper called "Leave with a deal", was there on yours?
It was plain as the hole in your ass that no deal would be reached, made very plain by Call me Dave coming back with his tail between his legs just prior to the referendum.
The Remainers always wanted a deal, leavers were happy to have one if available but if not then just leave. Quite simple.

I certainly was Vetuste, it was just a happy chance that we stopped for a drink in this bar somewhere around Notre Dame and ended up having one of the most memorable nights of our life.Trish (still my girlfriend) and I will often just sit back with a bottle of plonk,dim the lights and play Joan.Seen her several times in concert but none were as good as our own "private" concert
