If that happens, you could write a story about.
That would be a turnip for the books…

What Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal actually means
|
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/2...838a706da39654
Quote:
Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal attempts to address three critical problems with the Northern Ireland protocol that was negotiated by his predecessor Boris Johnson, senior government sources have said.
Downing Street is preparing to highlight inadequacies in Johnson’s agreement with the EU and how they have been addressed. Aides are also preparing to attack Johnson’s claim that his Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, a law allowing Britain to unilaterally override its obligations, would provide a better solution to the impasse.

Re: Britain outside the EU
The DUP won't agree to a revised Brexit deal as it will restore power-sharing and importantly, deliver the inaugural Sinn Féin first minister.
So is King Charles effectively showing which side of the fence he is on and is he appealing over the DUP's heads to win the hearts and minds of as much of the Northern Irish population as he can?
Quote:
Ursula von der Leyen will meet with the King this afternoon as she discusses changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol in Windsor with the prime minister, Sky News understands.
A palace spokesperson said: "The king is pleased to meet any world leader if they are visiting Britain and it is the government's advice that he should do so."
The EU Commission president is in the UK to hold talks with Rishi Sunak with both sides closing in on securing an enhanced Brexit deal.

He's the Head of State so he's just doing his duty as Head of State.Stop trying to read anything into the meeting.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Imo, Charlie Farlie couldn’t win the heart & mind of anyone.
As for the DUP, surely they want Stormont reconvened for 2024 to have the poll held on the Protocol? They’d possibly want an election first.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Brexit deal: Rishi Sunak ‘has cabinet backing’ for protocol agreement — follow latest
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/2...03057f71553dcd
Quote:
Ministers are unlikely to resign over Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal after a series of extensive briefings by No 10 and ministers over the weekend, The Times has been told.
Steve Baker, a Northern Ireland minister, was given a detailed briefing on the contents of the agreement in Downing Street on Sunday. He is expected to be given advance sight of the text of the deal today.
He is said to accept that significant concessions have been made and believe that the deal could improve the lives of people living in Northern Ireland. Other ministers and senior Tory eurosceptics were briefed by Dominic Raab, the deputy prime minister, over the weekend...
… One senior member of the European Research Group of eurosceptic Tory MPs said that while they were impressed with the apparent concessions secured by Sunak, they still may decide not to back the deal.
They said that based on what they had heard they would “love” to back the deal but would move in “lock-step” with the DUP. They said that the government’s handling of the DUP — keeping them out of negotiations until a deal had been secured — had been “appalling” and led to significant levels of mistrust.
|
@garius on Twitter summed it up, imho
Quote:
Huge, huge gamble though.
For him (Sunak) to come out of this with a POLITICAL win, he's essentially dependent on Johnson not being an utter sociopath, the ERG being rational actors and the DUP being fine serving under a Catholic.

Re: Britain outside the EU
If this deal goes to a vote in the House of Commons, and the ERG vote against the Party line, I wonder if they’ll lose the Whip?

That's not too difficult looking back at the last four piles of dog poo that have been in charge and caused many of the problems.

It will be interesting if they do. They will have to find another reason not to restart the Northern Irish Assembly with Sinn Fein as the lead.
