Biden supports The Good Friday Agreemeny -- Biden Era

Sky News/BBC News/GB News: Reports on Biden' Speech in support of the Northen Ireland Assembly.

Let's Get Real:

The visit to the province was shorter than expected, as the Assembly was meant to be in session by now, the DUP are the hold outs!!  POTUS will spend most of his time in the Republic, locking down the Irish vote for 24 and meeting long distance family.    On the whole a good picture opportunity for the White House.

UK to give legal assurance on N. Ireland's place in the UK - After Boris/After Brexit

Guardian ( on line ) reports that the UK is to give a legal assurance on N. Ireland's place in the UK.

Let's Get Real:

It seems from the article that the DUP leadership needs something extra to give to its members.  It is reported that the House of Commons MPs want to stay out of the Assembly, while Assembly members want to go back.

The UK could call fresh elections to give the people a CHOICE, those Election results should send a clear message to the leaders in the province, that could clear the log jam, or revise the Good Friday Agreement, as to prevent any party having a VETO on the formation of Assembly and government.  That could force the hand of the DUP.  The Windsor Framework is the best deal going at present, the DUP should take a victory.
