There may be some problems getting this through parliament even.

The EU might have something to say about it too.
Amusingly as Brexit is governed by Article 50 the court making the decision will be european.

Yeah, it looks like the Tories will effectivly try to tell NI to 'man up'. Genuinely worried about what this could do to the Good Friday agreement.

The Tonight Show guests called out that all of this is down to Tory in fighting and postering by potential future leaders with the ERG.

While I have zero time for Bertie Ahern he did make some good points around the GFA and what is happening in Westminster. As for the GB news guy....

Ultimately NI is yet again turning into a plaything for the machinations of the ruling elite. For me this is all about Boris and the Tories shoring up their support.

The reality is that on the ground no one in business in NI wants to risk not having access to the Single Market. This is a huge turning point where perhaps Political self preverence ends up with the reality that the populace vote them out.

One can only hope!

The Tories are backing up their mates the DUP who lost their majority in the recent election. And thus are scrambling to avoid having a republican first minister for the first time ever.

None of this is about the GFA this is all about the Tories self destruction and the ERG having an unhealthy sway.

I expect like so much else that the bloated gutbucket spouts this will see another u-turn. The important thing is to be seen to have fought against the 'collective forces of evil' (the EU, US, global trade legislation, etc)

Whatever the consequences, NI doing one helluva lot better still in the Single Market, the treaty was negotiated and signed by the walrus of waffle - albeit against advice from all quarters if the inherent dangers and what would follow, as it has.

Sadly (for us) this Baldrick style governing has given the UK an almost unlimited supply of failures. Like some giant Ponzi scheme of lying it is now collapsing, as there never was a chance of the bloater delivering.

Even the 3rd rate incompetents, Truss, Williamson, Gove, the stick insect are now being hung out to dry. Obliged to spout ever more ludicrous old guff in defence of this shambles. Let the poorest save £20,000 deposit, feed them venison, tell them to buy own brands food, show them how to cook a meal for 30p....

There is no plan (there never was) just some pinball bouncing from one failure to another, while spouting ever more absurd thoughts - as Alan Partridge when trying to keep his job .....'arm wrestling with Chas & Dave, monkey tennis...'

A quick look at the Tory manifesto will show it was not even a wish list, more a series of undeliverable promises (lies) to get elected. 'What, from Johnson' you may ask. He may have lied and cheated all the other times but surely as PM he would stop.

Nope, on the steps of number 10 (July 2019) he claimed there was a world beating health care plan in place - there wasn't, and there still isn't.

And the biggest irony is that the most stupid, those who fell for his bollox are now among those being hardest hit

Think NI will do a good job of standing up for the Protocol..

Government are clearly not content with breaking UK law. Violating international treaties was the next logical step.

The irony is these are the same ‘Brexiteers’ who spent years moaning about the French not following EU law and just doing what they wanted.
