The Northern Ireland Protocol Update - After Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " The Prime Minister is facing pressure from Tory backbenchers to harden up legislation to override parts of the Brexit deal.....Boris Johnson held a secret meeting with a representative of the European Research Group of Brexiteer Tory MPs on Tuesday night.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has to grab the thorny issue of the Northern Ireland protocol, the DUP will not go in to Government with the Nationalists if the protocol is still about, and that is a THREAT to the Good Friday Agreement.  The most import document that matters is the Good Friday Agreement not the North Ireland Protocol.  On the whole one expects Conservative MPs to support the reforms as stated by the Johnson Government, there will be THOSE that want to bend the knee to the EU, well this is the time to show them up, and make it a 3 line whip, if Conservative MPs do not vote for it they should have the WHIP removed.  This means that they are no longer part of the Conservative Party and cannot stand in 2024 or put in letters of no confidence in the PM.  The malcontents should be made to vote against things they agree with just to see who really is LOYAL.  This un loyal can be binned as not really Conservatives, they might find a better home with the Liberal Democrats.  Or they could form their own Party, that has been tried, it FAILED.  This is the time for the PM to be cunning and ruthless and win.
