"#England's reactions of frustration, anger, insult, & racism all came from starting point of recognition & anguish:
A recognition that there is no short-term path back for England from #Brexit. An anguish that others, such as #Ireland, will benefit."

Sadly I've got some bad news for you. It seem the EU wants the UK to pay the full contribution agreed in the #Brexit deal, while the UK (blaming the EU for delays in settling the NI issue) only wants to play a pro-rata reduced payment; the UK wants the EU to 'play fair'; the EU wants UK to pay what it agreed;
sound familiar?

Q. is the 'emergency brake' or Stormont Brake which is a central element of the #WindsorAgreement actually a legislative brake or an ornament?
@davidallengreen argues that its the latter, and I'd trust his interpretation on this more than any public pronouncement by #RishiSunakPM or his nominated spokesperson... so once the DUP realise, I'm guessing there may be some fireworks!
