Sky News reports that former PM Boris Johnson has stated he would find it difficult to vote for Sunak's Windsor Framework.
Let's Get Real
Boris has taken him time, perhaps to much, there are no signs of a massive rebellion in Conservative ranks, the DUP is split, one faction wants to stay out of the Assembly, while another wants to go back in to government. If there is rebellion it could be very small, the Labour Party has stated it will support the government if there is a vote in the House of Commons. Also Northern Ireland will be run from London, as both the nationalists and the unionist are required to form a government in the province.
If the DUP say no, then the whole process has been a waste of time, there will be no Presidential visit on the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, no trade deal, and Sunak might need to seek an improved deal. The EU will not be happy.
Thus Sunak in the 2024 general election will be a weak candidate and the Good Friday Agreement might need to be revised, stopping the DUP from pulling this stunt, that could lead to the troubles coming back.
