DUP are definitely the bad guys here, and NI had no problem with the backstop.

I’m not so sure about that. Hard border is the recipe for disaster here. It really cannot be policed safely and effectively. I have a notion that I predicted the Irish Sea border some time ago as anyone here knows the implications of a hard land border. The DUP had a good bargaining position until the election when that position was lost. They, effectively, are now a dog with no teeth as far as the UK government are concerned.
NI continues to be the hard to get at pimple on the arse of the UK. As it sits, the UK border should be policed on the mainland as there is free movement (excepting Covid things in the south) across the land border.

The DUP thought they were using the alliance with May to get a hard North/South border, then Johnson shafted them.
