The Northern Ireland Protocol - Update - After Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Lord Frost has drawn up plans to replace the Northern Ireland Protocol as the Tory Brexit chief warns the EU the UK 'cannot wait forever' for border check problems to be resolved and signals Britain will tear up rules this year if progress is not made "

Lets Get Real:

This has been going on for months, the UK suggests different ideas to replace the North Ireland Protocol and the EU does nothing, the UK should announce that enough is enough and revoke the Protocol as allowed by the Withdrawal Agreement and threaten the EU with not getting the rest of the divorce settlement if it starts any trouble.  There were rumours that the PM would announce it this week at the conference, it seems that has been delayed.   A row between the UK and the EU would go down well with the UK voters and secure Northern Ireland as part of the UK and ease tensions.  If the Republic wants to build borders its down to them, as they will not the EU will just have to give up!

UK Chancellor and Brexit - Conservative Party Conference/After Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Rishi Sunak has insisted that Brexit is in the long-term interests of the UK, despite current disruption to fuel and food supplies....He also said he wanted to cut taxes, but only when the public finances are on a "sustainable footing".  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a good speech by the CHANCELLOR, confirming that he is a firm Brexit supporter but also a Conservative who wants to cut taxes when the economy is right or before the next general election.  The Remain press are always blaming Brexit for the fuel shortage in London and the South of England, what few do not say is that the rest of Europe has the same problem, and that there is enough fuel, this not the 1970s all over again.  The Johnson Government is showing that it is secure when it comes the economy and is united in wanting tax cuts when the time is right, well before a general election in either 2023 or 2024.   One can only hope that this Conference is more successful that the Labour Party under Sir Keir Starmer, the Conservatives were a couple of points of Labour in a recent poll, thus no bounce for the Labour Party.
