Graham, the party who set the red lines was the UK Government (such as no FoM and no ECJ control). Also, the Irish backstop was explicitly asked by the UK. Actions have consequences and the UK Government should take responsibility for this mess.

We usually put it at the end of the clause.
- He plays tennis and rugby too.
- I am on holiday the first fortnight in September too.
- She has been to Chile too.
- You should go on a boat ride down the Seine too.
It can be used after the subject but this is very formal.
- I too was disappointed about the result.
- We, too, thought the reviews were overrated.
- Have a nice weekend. - You too.
- Nice meeting you. - Nice meeting you too.
- I have to get up early tomorrow. - Yeah, me too.
I don't know where they are from.

The ones that used to keep me awake at night when I lived in Malasaña were definitely Spanish. I suspect most of the Real Madrid supporters in your neighbourhood are Spanish too.
I LOVE HOW they are known as Cayetanos (me too)

1.- I like to see the dark sky at night, also full of stars, without the Moon and feeling the soft could breeze too. There is nobody, you don´t listen any noise, I don´t either, only appear a lot of constellations as well and, then, you begin to think where I am? Where do I go? Who am I? Sometimes, a big planet answers my questions.
- I like to think generally speaking, but I also prefer think about where we come from, also about thinking beyond Universe as well and to resolve society´s problems too. Some people don´t want to think about the war, I don´t either.
2.- I went to London several years ago with my family. I enjoyed a lot and I had a good time as well. I was in the Speaker´s Corner too, but I didn´t speak, my family didn´t either. I also will remember London like a fantastic place.
I had been visiting Berlin too. I went to the Egyptian museum where Nefertiti was and other statues of Egypt as well. Then, I didn´t spoke in English because German people of the museum didn´t either. I ate a good seafoot and I also drank beer.
3.- Eating tongues is disgusting because they have a smooth texture, also its colour is pink and it seems chewing gum too. If I think that I´m eating tongues, I may vomit, as well. My family have never eaten tongue, I don´t either.
I don´t like ravioli because is a bit tasteless and it increases the risk of diabetes as well. It does overweight too. The doctor also said that we mustn´t eat a lot of pastry, I think I mustn´t either.
4.- I have a broken door at home since a year ago and every week I try to mend it. I also am useless, I have bad luck too because this door has life as well. When I think that today it´s okay, it doesn´t work next day, if it doesn´t graze on the one side, it grazes on the other side. The door doesn´t work and I don´t either.
I always do the shopping, I go to the market and the corteinglés as well. They are my favourite places because they are near my home, I also don´t like go away very far and I like go to the known shop too. My friends don´t like to go a new shop frequently, I don´t either.
Sometimes I play some cards in my village and I also hike around the countryside. Mainly, I breathe fresh air as well. Villagers don´t like pollution, I don´t either.
6.- I have never been to Mérida (Badajoz). I have to go but I have tried several times and I didn´t get it. I also continue working and, when I choose an opportunity, my family calls me to help them too. On the other hand, you can´t go alone as well. Sometimes people said that they haven´t time, when there are difficulties to do anything, I don´t either.
Another place of Spain what I wanted to visit since a lot of years ago is the birth of Pitarque´s river in Teruel too. I think it´s beautiful and also the friends of mine told me that this place is very interesting. Generally speaking, rives appear around the mountains and for this reason its landscape is very nice as well. People don´t like to visit this river in winter, I don´t either.
7.- I remember when the teacher ask me about Gothic kings, it was costly because their names were strange, I also was very young. I didn´t liked to learn names as well. I have always considered that it is useless too. My companions said that it was very painful and they didn´t like, I didn´t either.
Also other subject that I hated was the Geography. If I was living in my village and I knew all landforms of my village, as well, why did I have to know landforms of the others countries? My teacher compelled to learn rivers, mountains and so on and my parents too but they didn´t know the valleys of Spain, for instance, I didn´t either.
8.- I would like to go to the Moon. I could go through the space, to travel in a spacecraft too, also to see the Earth from the Moon and to be five minutes sitting in a place in the Moon as well. A lot of people don´t want to lose this kind of opportunity in their life, I don´t either.
I want to go to Scotland, but I don´t know when I will may do it. I would like to see its long canals, also its clear water, its castles too, my friend Nessie as well. If you are going to visit Scotland, you don´t may lose its mountains, its valleys and all its spectacular views witch I have seen in some photos, I don´t either.
When we couldn´t play football because of the rain, for instance, we played basketball. It was good too because I could scored a basket frequently, at the opposite in the football where it´s difficult to score. I also like to watch it on TV. When I remember the football and the basketball, it was as if I was in my youth too. When we left the school, nobody couldn´t play basketball, because there was not court of the basketball, I couldn´t either. The government foments the football more than the basketball because the football moves a lot of money as well.
10.- Speaking about oneself is a useless proposal because nobody will believe you, your friends also will think that you are pretentious and strange people will think that you are cocky too. For this reason people don´t get used speaking about themselves, I don´t either. In my opinion, I am good at this kind of arguments, as well.
I suppose I am good for working too, because I was able to work a whole day without stop. I also like to work with good colleagues. However, people don´t like to work with a bad boss, I don´t either. I don´t like the bad stress, as well.
11.- I would like to “understand” the machines like my friends. I am useless with my car, also the dishwasher, the washing machine too, the vacuum cleaner or the razor and so on, as well. I know that there are people who can´t be artist, I can´t either.
I am not good at drawing. It always cost me and it also was a loss of time. I didn´t end my work of drawing after three hours, therefore, my grades were bad too. I felt envy of my colleagues architects drew very properly, as well. I know that lawyers don´t draw correctly, I don´t either.
12.- I haven´t watched the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” of Frank Darabont. People speak well about this movie and my friends too. I also wanted to watch in TV but it was not possible. I don´t have time to watch now, as well. Some people were too lazy to watch old movies and they don´t do anything to watch, I don´t either.
Other movie that I would like to watch is “La Lista de Schindler” of Steven Spielberg. Everyone said: This movie is very interesting. I don´t remember why a didn´t watch this movie but I suppose that it was a bit sad and I also don´t like to watch images about mistreating human beings. I suffer with this kind of movies too. I don´t pay money for suffer, as well. In spite of it was a good movie a lot of people don´t want to watch this movie, I don´t either.
See you.
1.- I like to see the dark sky at night, full of stars without the Moon, and feel the soft cool breeze too. There is nobody around; you don’t hear any noise. I don’t either. Only a lot of constellations appear, and then you begin to wonder, where am I? Where am I going? Who am I? Sometimes, a big planet answers my questions.
- I like contemplating the stars too but unlike you, I haven't got the slightest bit of interest in the latest discoveries about planets.
I like to think generally speaking, but I also prefer to think about where we come from, think about beyond the Universe, and about solving society's problems as well. Some people don’t want to think about war; I don’t either.
2. I went to London several years ago with my family. I enjoyed it a lot and had a good time as well (maybe you mean the weather was good). I was at Speaker’s Corner too, but I didn’t speak; my family didn’t either. I also remember London as a fantastic place.
I have visited Berlin too. I went to the Egyptian Museum where Nefertiti was and saw other statues of Egypt there as well. I didn’t speak in English because the German people at the museum didn’t either. I ate good seafood and also drank beer.
- I haven't been to London for years. I grew tired of it. I had a nice time in Berlin but like London, it isn't high up in the list of my favourite capital cities either.
3.- Eating tongues is disgusting because they have a smooth texture, and their color is pink. It seems like chewing gum too. If I think that I’m eating tongues, I may vomit as well. My family has never eaten tongue; I haven’t either.
I don’t like ravioli because it is a bit tasteless and increases the risk of diabetes as well. It makes you overweight too. Doctors also say that we mustn’t eat a lot of pastries (pastry = masa / pastel), and I think I mustn’t either.
4.- I have had a broken door at home for the last year, and every week I try to mend it. I am (also) useless and have bad luck too because this door seems to have a life of its own. When I think it’s okay, it doesn’t work the next day. If it doesn’t graze on one side, it grazes on the other. The door doesn’t work, and I don’t either.
I always do the shopping. I go to the market and the Corte Inglés as well. They are my favorite places because they are near my home. I also don’t like going very far away and prefer going to family-run shops too. My friends don’t like going to new shops frequently; I don’t either.
Last one - hurray!
9.- My favourite sport is football. When I was young, yesterday of course, I always played football and I also watched matches on TV. The dictatorship promoted football as well. Every child had a ball too. My mates didn´t give up studying and I didn´t either.
When we couldn´t play football because of the rain, for instance, we played basketball. It was good too because I often scored a basket, unlike in football in which it´s difficult to score. I also like to watch it on TV. When I remember football and basketball, it was as if I was in my youth too. When we left school, nobody could play basketball, because there wasn't a basketball court. I couldn´t either. The government promotes football more than basketball because football moves a lot of money as well.
10.- Speaking about yourself is a useless proposal because nobody will believe you, your friends will also think that you are pretentious and strangers will think that you are cocky too. For this reason, people don´t usually speak about themselves. I don´t either. In my opinion, I am good at this kind of subjects as well.
I suppose I am good at working too, because I was able to work a whole day without stopping. I also like to work with good colleagues. However, people don´t like to work with a bad boss. I don´t either. I don´t like bad stress either.

I am not good at drawing. I always found it difficult and it was also a waste of time. I didn´t end my work of drawing after three hours, therefore, my grades were bad too. I felt envious that my architect colleagues drew very properly as well. I know that lawyers don´t draw correctly, I don´t either.

I don´t pay money to suffer either. In spite of this, it was a good movie. A lot of people don´t want to watch this movie. I don´t either.
- I have seen both of these films. There is one scene in The Shawshank Redemption that made me cry though I won't tell you which one. I avoided watching Schindler's List for many years because I knew it would be a tough watch. I didn't cry during the film but I woke up in the middle of the night sobbing uncontrollably.
