If you are an English, Welsh or Scottish company, you can trade within GB freely.
But if you are a Northern Ireland company - you cannot!
NI companies must be part of the ‘Trusted Trader Scheme’ to trade with an English/Scottish/Welsh company. This is not free trade.

North Down and Lagan Valley voters see through this.
Alliance clearly got this wrong. Failing to admit such obvious mistakes and doubling-down on them is treating voters as though they were stupid.
Alliance’s self-belief of neutrality and intellectual superiority has crumbled.

A lot of politicians in the Republic of Ireland are burning bridges tonight and not just with UK.
The EU have demonstrated duplicity by changing that, which was previously unchangeable. That has unnecessarily wasted a lot of time and resources and is a source of embarrassment.

Trade within the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) has nothing to do with the EU.
The UK voted to leave the EU.
Good faith negotiations are required to find durable solutions for post-Brexit trade between UK & EU (which includes the Republic of Ireland).

So the
@duponline
was right in 1998. The Good Friday Agreement should never have been supported.
Now, the UK Government, Sinn Fein, the SDLP and the Alliance parties want to fundamentally change it.
Will terrorists go back to jail?
Will letters of comfort be rescinded?

Having voted for it.
Having experienced the results of it.
If given the opportunity to vote on it again, I would, without hesitation or reserve, most definitely vote AGAINST the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
No question - it definitely wasn’t worth the sacrifices.

It is clear that the NI Protocol was never intended to protect the Good Friday Agreement, and

’s speech today shows it is still not a priority. One mention that didn’t deal with the central issue.

When you are putting your X in the box on your ballot paper on 4th July remember this, the DUP candidate chose to believe and follow Jeffrey Donaldson.
The DUP gave away Unionism’s leverage.
The DUP failed to keep their own 7 tests.
The DUP allowed the Union to be jeopardised.

The craziness of the UK Government ensuring TAX revenue from UK businesses in Northern Ireland is diverted away the exchequer to the benefit of EU countries, then UK Gov. funding £730m (of £858m) and allowing the EU to take the credit for the program.
Really?

It’s renegotiation is not an option according to
@MarosSefcovic
. It appears the EU have closed the door, nevermind meeting halfway, they’re not prepare to leave their echo-chamber. The UK has tried, but EU are unwilling and have dug their heels in.
So be it.

To clarify, the justification for going back into the

Furthermore, it has become clear that being within the

NI has been torn from the UK.
What now?

The sad thing is a lot of people in the USA think being an IRA sympathizer is a good thing.
For those that do - understand that 9/11, Boston Marathon Bomb, Oklahoma City Bomb and the many terrorist shootings result from the same family of terrorism as the IRA.

What an embarrassment, but sadly typical. Those who offer a handshake, a gesture of friendship, and use the opportunity to insult or make a snide political point. This appears to be the modus operandi of many Irish Republicans these days.

It does not. ‘Trade’ flows smoothly between Edinburgh, Cardiff and London. The Windsor Framework prevents many businesses in Northern Ireland from operating unless they complete customs declarations. It is an impediment to business and damages the United Kingdom.
(2/3) It allows trade to flow smoothly from GB to NI, scrapping the requirement for veterinary certificates and lifting the bans on products such as sausages and seed potatoes.

Don’t say crisis, say challenge. Don’t say threat, say challenge.
It’ll be a challenge to transfer votes to the UUP.

This is an example of changing your narrative to suit your own personal ambitions or having your cake and eating it.
It is insincere, conceited, duplicitous and egotistical.
It devalues the Justice Ministry and those who rely on it.
It treats the electorate like fools.
Naomi saying being in Westminster is far more important place to be as that is where Stormont budget decided.
The same Naomi Long who told the DUP to stop negotiating bigger budget for Stormont with Westminster, just accept what was on the table and get Stormont back.

The liar
@RishiSunak
needs to understand that his Government has lost the trust of not only Unionists, but also brexiteers. As far as Northern Ireland is concerned he must undo what he did with the Windsor Framework FIRST. He broke the trust, he must act first to repair it.
The government is ready to legislate to protect Northern Ireland's place in the UK internal market,
@RishiSunak
says - but only if power-sharing government at Stormont is restored.

An increasing number of moderate Unionist business owners now realise that the EU only compromise when they face risk to their members. This is resulting in a groundswell of support for the EU Customs Check Points to be placed within ROI at the existing border.

Sadly
@GRobinsonDUP
is less than convincing, less than willing to distance himself from the ‘Donaldson Deal’, less than willing to accept other Unionist’s views.
He is treating Unionists and those in favour of leaving the EU as if they are buttoned up the back.
