She said no UK Prime Minister could advocate the latter. The Conservative ERG rebels and Boris Johnson together with the DUP voted together to ensure the withdrawal deal failed and brought down May in the process.
Johnson as Prime Minister negotiated a withdrawal deal which included GB/NI border checks. He visited NI during the election campaign and said that there would not be any checks. The DUP supported the deal.
Johnson then negotiated the trade deal with the EU that confirmed these checks to ensure that non-compliant foodstuffs did not enter the EU via the border and goods did not evade any necessary customs tariffs or declarations. The DUP voted through the deal.
The new processes started kicking into life, including. guess what, checks between GB and NI. Shortages of many products on NI supermarket shelves because of the new bureaucracy.
The DUP cried this is not what we voted for or against. Loyalists started targeting customs infrastructure at Larne, threatening the people supposed to perform the checks. The DUP started a campaign to rip up the agreements made. People start taking to the streets. Johnson has gone to ground acting like it is nothing to do with him.
Simple really!
Imagine the hilarity if Boris Johnson gets bumped off by an enraged Unionist from a loyalist paramilitary!
Or is that only me?:biggrin:

Good post.
Simon Jenkins wrote a piece in today's Guardian where he argued that Johnson's Brexit lies (and the DUP complicity) can only be resolved by a government retreat to a softer Theresa May type Brexit, or by much closer economic (and then political) alignment between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
As Johnson is unlikely to admit the lies, and given his past record will ignore or bluster or bullshit around the consequences of a border in the Irish Sea, a United Ireland is getting closer. A Brexit bonus at last!

"The preferential trading terms secured by the Agreement will permit British business to trade as they did before 1 January 2021."
Let's all celebrate something that hasn't actually got worse!

Indeed like that positiveness.
I guess we have to do this country by country whcih if we get the same result at least it steady as we go step by step , cant help think most countries will want a trade deal with us as a major economy ,which hopefully helps in uncertain times .
