If NI is part of the UK customs territory as specified in the Protocol, then GB cannot have "separate tariffs or other regulations of commerce are maintained for a substantial part of the trade" with NI. Otherwise NI becomes a separate customs territory and things get even more messy.NI(ie UK government) would have to come to a formal trade agreement with GB(ie UK government again).

And where does it mention "EU Single Market", which you said NI wasn’t part of?

Re: Britain outside the EU
To be fair, Poland has been pretty dodgy recently with their judiciary, packing the courts with political appointees and summarily dismissing judges who rule against the government. The ECHR has found the Polish government to be in breach or Article 6, the right to a fair trial, a couple of times now.
Breaching and, importantly, continuing to breach the ECHR doesn't give the EU anywhere to go - Poland will be in breach of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union by extension

Or this
https://assets.publishing.service.go...LATIONSHIP.pdf
Quote:
Articles 5-10 set out the provisions under which Northern Ireland can remain aligned with specific EU rules in customs, goods, VAT, and the Single Electricity Market. As this is defining a single regulatory system in which Northern Ireland goods are in the same competitive environment as those in Ireland, State aid rules apply for any measures affecting trade between Northern Ireland and the EU, including the operation of the Single Electricity Market. All these arrangements are subject to the ongoing consent of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and lapse if that consent is not given
|
Quote:
15.Paragraph 4 of the same Article then establishes a single regulatory zone on the island of Ireland. This involves Northern Ireland aligning with the specific EU regulations listed in Annex 2 on agri-food products and manufactured goods.
|
Quote:
22.The practical effect of these provisions taken together is that, for as long as it wishes it, Northern Ireland is part of a single regulatory zone on the island of Ireland in which it aligns on a set of EU rules covering trade in goods. But all these arrangements will lapse if there is not consent to sustain them in Northern Ireland.

Re: Britain outside the EU
WTO rules don't exclude agreements between different customs territories, ie NI and EU, but the establishment of the NI customs territory means there should be full WTO tariffs and customs rules between NI & GB, in both directions. NI cannot be in the same customs territory as GB as well as with the EU. Just not possible under WTO rules.

Raab agrees with you, he was on the radio this morning saying the same, slept through the interview annoyingly but heard extracts, he has a solution to, prisoners on day release and ex offenders, rehabilitation of offenders has no bigger advocate than me, I've even lobbied my MP over changes to the DBS system (to no avail at the time but the changes I wanted to see are in place now so it's moot I guess) and given the attitude then compared to now, I wonder where this welcomed about turn has come from

Asylum-seekers would be up for it too.
The fact that the US has problems with discharging ships' cargo does not mean that Brexit hasn't worsened or improved the discharging ships' cargo situation in the UK.

Brexit has exacerbated both problems (lorry driver shortages and container ship delays at ports, which are both connected, of course) but Brexit is not the actual cause of either. Had there not been a pandemic, I doubt that these problems would have arisen.

Re: Britain outside the EU
The French and this fishing boat episode, the threats of further stuff, and the way they serenely ignore those people leaving their shores by dinghy . . is it time we gave the buggers a good kicking?

Start by insisting that every bottle of Champaign must be opened by customs and checked for contamination.

Re: Britain outside the EU
That Macron & his ministers are behaving like Putin (as in threatening to cut off the electricity interconnect is best countered by diplomacy and whatever legal devices are at our disposal.
We should keep up the dialogue, especially in public, as much as possible so as to ridicule France even in the EU's eyes. As in "we are surprised that such a long standing ally and friend should stoop to this sort of provocative behaviour".
They really are beyond the pale.
