@alexhallhall Jeffrey Donaldson tells the Commons Boris Johnson told the DUP Party conference there would be a border in the Irish Sea “over his dead body” then agreed the NI Protocol which created a border in the Irish Sea so why should anyone ever trust him again?

@PippaCrerar @lisaocarroll Lords Powers Committee “The NIP Bill represents as stark a transfer of power from Parliament to the Executive as we have seen throughout the Brexit process.

@rtenews @seanwhelanRTE David Frost admitting he and Boris Johnson knew the Protocol lacked Unionist approval from the beginning but they pushed it through anyway because it was the only way to “Get Brexit Done” which makes his current concern for consent very disingenuous @denisstaunton

@robertwoolley Ben Habib could run for Kate Hoey’s seat in NI. Oops she doesn’t have a seat in NI either. They seem to just like using NI disputes over the Union to stoke the fires of British nationalism.
