The United Kingdom simply underestimated Ireland's clout and the importance of the border backstop. Add to that Theresa May's unpopularity and cabinet disloyalty and you have all the main causes of the mess Brexit turned into, according to one of the ex-prime minister's key allies in government.
The three and a half years since the June 2016 referendum have been a bruising and bumpy ride. David Lidington, the minister for Europe under David Cameron, and then one of May’s main allies in cabinet before quitting politics last December, had a ring-side seat throughout the tortured process...
...Chief among the government’s mistakes, Lidington said, was that it “collectively underestimated the way that the Irish government had made the border a key issue” for the EU negotiating team. The Irish “called in every favour they could”, he added.

Lidington still does not understand what happened. Ireland did not need to call in favours. A return to armed violence was a real possibility in Ireland. The EU would have supported any member state so threatened by Brexit. The EU has given Spain a veto over anything related to Gibraltar in the upcoming trade negotiations. Spain did not need to call in any favours either as the EU already regards Gibraltar as a UK colony which is not good for the UK. This did not matter when the UK was in the EU. The EU stands by its members and the UK is no longer a member.
