‘How dare he!’ Fury at ex-EU chief over Brexit border swipe ‘Put in your own territory’THE EU'S former trade commissioner has sparked fresh fury over the Northern Ireland Protocol after saying the UK 'cannot have your cake and eat it' over a border in Ireland.

Boris Johnson WILL tear up Northern Ireland protocol if EU won't actBoris Johnson will stand firm today on his threat to ditch parts of the post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland if the EU doesn't back down. Why do that, when the people of NI are happy enough with arrangement? Is because NI is still flourishing as part of the EU? Hows that oven ready deal going? I know NI has historical special circumstances, but doesn’t it seem odd that 40% of electorate DUP voters now need to be listened to, whereas 48% opposition to Brexit across UK as a whole and majority opposition in Scotland need to shut-up and “accept the will of the people”?!

Boris Johnson created this Brexit mess in Northern Ireland – and he should own it | Simon JenkinsThe prime minister lacks the authority to fix the problems his protocol has caused. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland suffers, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins Well that would involve him admitting he has made a mistake...so he won't be owning this. Although he most definitely should. His despicable legacy will haunt the islands for many years to come. But he won't even realise it. I thought it was the ‘leave’ voters that created the whole Brexit disaster🤔
