EDIT: MFN/WTO rules don’t come into this. NI is part of the UK.

Would the WTO be happy with this idea? How could you stop NI-only goods leaking over the invisible border into the Republic eg lots of cheap Australian beef and wine in the future?

The UK needs to be a friendly neighbour and align veterinary standards as they are now and stop the aggressive rhetoric.

Problem solved - or does BoJo like the current divisive situation so the Express/Telegraph can devote copy to how bad the EU is and reassure voters that they made the right choice? Despite what farmers, steel workers, fishermen, touring bands, the City, etc might be whinging about.
