The only reason the UK/Irish border is a problem is that the EU chose to make it one. So now you want the EU and the Irish to sort out the mess, and you call them "intransigent" when WE can't come up with a resolution The UK have come up with answers, but they were not acceptable to the EU. The EU seem to consider this a good negotiating tool. But so far, as with so many other subjects, they have not come up with their own ideas, nor accepted any of those put forward by UK. So 'intransigence' is exactly the word I would use.
