WTF does that all that have to do with the constant arseholery from Frost.
Westminster could accept concessions, spin it as a "haha EU lost", after all their supporters believe that, NI protocol works better, we can sort of move on here, constant aggrevation with EU calms down.
Time can be spent on other things.
But no.
NI existence is due to a fudge. Something the E Com only realised after the threat to trigger Art 30 earlier this year (which lasted a few hours before wiser heads prevailed). The NI protocol is regarded as another fudge in a long line of Irish fudges by Westminster.
The Irish government is terrified by the resurgence of SF in the south, the first genuine threat to the cosy two party free state since the civil war.
Devolution in NI is a shitfest of incompetence and corruption.
Manu is terrified by the forthcoming election in France.
Nobody really knows what the Germans are thinking (probably more worried about gas supplies than a small nation in the Atlantic).
The Tories have a significant newly won majority and an opposition who can barely tie their shoelaces.
I look forward to Commissioner Mairead on the C4 news over the next week or so.
