Northern Ireland Protocol UPDATE - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Northern Ireland Protocol: Ministers to introduce law change amid 'very grave' situation...Britain says it does not want to scrap the protocol and would prefer to come to a negotiated settlement - but the EU said the plan for legislation was not acceptable and that Brussels would respond to all measures at its disposal.  "

Lets Get Real:

The usual rubbish from the EU, they are more interested in keeping to the fine print than finding REAL solutions to the problem, the Irish support Brussels great shock.  The UK has to carry on, have talks with the EU but make it CLEAR that they lawyers are saying that the changes are alright due to the problems that are being created in the province by the Northern Ireland Protocol, if the EU wants a TRADE WAR, so be it, the EU needs to be taught, correction Brussels needs to be taught a lesson, they a bit players on the WORLD STAGE, the crisis in the Ukraine has shown that, the West wants a STRONG NATO, not a supper silly Brussels who think they are STATE.  Lady Thatcher is can be postulated would have approved of the action by the UK Government, she would have thrown her handbag to good effect. 

Is the DUP coming around to attending the Northern Ireland Assembly ? - After Brexit

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.25pm post the following, " Truss statement is a good start, says DUP leader....DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson says the party had always been against the protocol, and recognised the political and economic instability it could cause, as well as the threat it could pose to the union.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Government is creating a back up of insurance should the EU play silly buggers and make demands that are a threat to the Good Friday Agreement, one hopes that Brussels understands that this agreement is the most important agreement not the Northern Ireland Protocol.  The changes by the Government would create a green channel that would allow UK products to transfer from the UK MAINLAND to Belfast but also create a EU Channel for products that are going from the UK to the Republic and meet EU standards.  One hopes that the DUP will at least allow the election of a Speaker for the Northern Ireland Assembly, to start getting the wheels rolling for the return of the Executive.  In this the UK Government should place pressure on the DUP, the Government is doing what they want, so they should give a little.  Its politics 101.
