“There is no unionist support for the protocol. The protocol will destroy the GFA if not dealt with.” The UK government has provoked anger on both sides of the Atlantic with a plan to overhaul the Northern Ireland Protocol, a trading arrangement that was agreed as part of its Brexit divorce deal with the EU.She said: “What we need to do now is build trust with the European Union. We’re asking them essentially, to devolve the protection of the single market to the UK to allow us to have a green channel for goods coming from GB to Northern Ireland that won’t go any further.

Reform London is bidding to placate pro-UK unionists who are refusing to join a new power-sharing government in Belfast – led for the first time by pro-Irish nationalists – until the protocol is reformed. ‘Frank’ discussion But the protocol’s requirement for checks on goods arriving from England, Scotland and Wales has infuriated the DUP and other unionists, who say it drives a wedge between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
