Lets Get Real:
There were problems with the EU Withdrawal Agreement before the EU made a mess of it in the last few days, as stated in my post, post going to the Republic Ireland via Northern Ireland had added taxes. There are reports of people refusing to pay the surcharge and the goods having to be returned. The PM might need to invoke Article 16, the EU has let that genie out of the box, if the EU can think of doing it, well the UK can also the arguments goes. Article 16 allows the UK to override parts of the Brexit Deal, if due to circumstances there is a economic cost to Northern Ireland of the DEAL. The Unionist Parties in Northern Ireland are in full cry, the PM might not have a choice if the EU does not play ball with the demands from the UK, that such problems are thrown in to the VERY LONG GRASS, in essence removing them as problem, returning Northern Ireland to its position before Brexit.
