This puts it firmly in the modern Conservative wheelhouse and we should be very concerned.morstar said:
We’ve discussed it before and we don’t quite agree on the last point but I do agree the UK doing nothing is a sensible position.TheBigBean said:Can't see a downside of the UK's position on USB-C. Everything will be USB-C unless there is a good reason for it not to be in which case, it doesn't have to be. Really not something governments should be regulating.
My reason for posting was more the way the article tried to look for potential problems by bringing up NI.
Unless somebody in UK is insane enough to want our own law, the standard has been dictated to us and we accept it.
Making our own law would be a total waste of time. Making it a protocol issue would also be ridiculous.

The fact the article draws attention to the protocol makes me fear that is where some people’s heads are at.
Why can I buy 2 year old new old stock in mainland Britain but not NI? This isn’t the Brexit I voted for!0 -
Sunak putting the Protocol Bill on ice is causing bigger concern in NI than phone chargers

Another court judgment due in Belfast this morning
The DUP agri minister (Poots) gave his civil servants an instruction to cease Protocol checks. They ignored him, saying to comply would be to break the law. Sinn Fein, via a proxy, challenged the legally of Poots instruction
That's were it gets 'interesting'.
Lawyers for Poots are claiming that the wording of the agreement is such that these checks aren't required
Politically the case is important too
Firstly the government are arguing for implementation of a Protocol they are trying to scrap
Secondly, if the court says the Agri minister is legally obligated to do these checks, the DUP will argue that ie justification for keeping the Assembly down“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Increasingly feel about NI politics as I do about US politics.
I suspect this has been the Westminster position for a long long time.0 -

I have a genuine Brexit benefit as after 13 years the missus has rejoined the workforce after getting a job as a TA in a hard core special needs school.
Post Brexit it turns out that you no longer need qualifications or experience and can chose your days and hours0 -

The more people they can huddle into schools throughout winter the better.

I still find it bemusing how a sectarian and bigoted NI party held the Tories to ransom, when they didn't need their votes, unless the endgame for UK Brexiters was to use NI as the hand-grenade to blow up the entire arms dump which was the Brexit that Johnson & Frost had negotiated.0 -

Anyway, he'll be hiding in Germany clutching his German passport, so we'd probably need to go the the European Court to secure his extradition for his trial.0 -
Fingers crossed. As stated above, would be a massive feather in the cap of Sunak if he pulls it off. Fair play to him.tailwindhome said:

Rishi 'pulling this off' will be and is almost entirely a party management issue
That deal has been on the table since 2016 and is everything the Tory battle fought against
It's also what the Labour Party will do the moment the come to power“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!1 -
