@DavidRobjant@Tedii69@NealOKelly @GWBridgeUK @OdysseusRex @narkovian @MRJKilcoyne@CoppetainPU@BorderIrish It pretty simple - there is no border in Ireland as NI remain the single market. It's what Johnson and Frost agreed to and won an electron on.
The EU border has moved to the Irish Sea.
UK could have mitigated the difficulties with SPS deals, etc. like NZ .
The UK chose not to.
"And he is completely locked into the Northern Ireland protocol he negotiated, even though it is clearly unworkable, and will have to be reformed at some stage".
Do you mean the Northern Ireland Protocol that Boris Johnson signed and hailed as part of his “Oven ready deal”?
After obvious health impacts, the main benefit of our early vaccine success was going to be our early relaxation of rules & restrictions. That has been completely squandered because Johnson prioritised a face-saving trade deal with India over the welfare of the people he governs.
@Leahronny @HossMackintosh @oatbakeUK@PoliticsForAlI@Telegraph Actually, it was because the EU were shipping in lots of vaccines into the UK while the UK were exporting none.
Most of the vaccines were developed in Europe and the UK by very talented immigrants.
EU taking back control of their borders?

I have never thought I would agree with #DominicCummings but this is very good.
"It is sad to see the PM and his office fall so far below the standards of competence and integrity the country deserves."
The Irish Sea Border definitely agrees. 🌊

I've been trying to keep a low profile (2-300 metres below sea level) for thousands of years but I've overheard some chatter from my neighbours @BorderIrishSea and @BorderScotland that has prompted me to join this Twitter thing.
Page 4 is also very interesting. 🤔
One of the deepest areas on the European Continental Shelf - also filled with unexploded munitions.💥
Makes me the Deepest Border.

@rdanielkelemen@BorisJohnson Come July when the UK has to apply real export customs controls combined with real import customs controls - that could well be all the customs agents needed. 😕
