Note too that parties in NI & Irish Govt, often branded "in thrall to EU", instantly called EU error out.
Truth, logic, law & public interest have informed their opposition to bad UK Govt choices on Brexit & now their ready objection to a bad EU choice.
Listened to this time.
@webfooteast@labourirish@Femi_Sorry VdL incompetence called out immediately within pro-EU crowd. Backed down in hours after phone calls from Irish Gov. There is a difference.
@webfooteast@labourirish@Femi_Sorry "Wouldn't have done it".
Internal Market bill.Didn't warn anyone.Held as a threat over the trade negotiations for months. Doubled down and didn't care. Brexiteers fully supported that.

@bmcp65 @MatthewOToole2 It is better than the logistical mess a land border would have created. If you wanted neither then Brexit was a terrible idea but here we are. It was always going to be 1 or the other.
@jamesdevers17@simoncoveney@NicolaSturgeon within hours of a phone call with the Irish Government. Don't talk about respect. Your Government have been lying nonstop on a daily basis for years. VdL is just a moron but rectified it.
@jamesdevers17@simoncoveney@NicolaSturgeon Internal market bill.The UK didn't tell anyone they had a plan to rip up the withdrawal agreement after signing it because they didn't like the small print. Then proceeded to keep that as a threat for months.That was deliberate.VdL was incompetent and withdrew this nonsense (1/2)
@johnsmyth2110 @pbmosligo @simoncoveney It protects trade between NI and ROI. If you wanted to protect trade overall then Brexit shouldn't have happened but here we are.
And in a sign of potential trouble ahead, he said he'd received multiple calls from businesses today who thought they didn't need any new paperwork to cross the border, because the free-trade deal meant they could continue as normal (๐ฑ) 5/
