@IHateRacists The #dup are never in favour of anything that embraces another culture. It’s why they can’t even accept the #WindsorFramework or any dual language signage in Northern Ireland.

@MattMastodon @harriettmb @irelandpolitics @ukpolitics @wsw777

Yeah..NI is not what you see portrayed on the news, it is certainly not what certain politicians would have you believe. We are not all out dated & out of touch politicians, begging our London masters for scraps of the table.

The majority of us are happy to live and let live, enjoy the craic and get on with things. We certainly don't give a toss about the #Protocol & #WindsorFramework - it doesn't keep us up at night.

If the DUP had their way over ‘Green Lanes’ and no checks between NI and the UK, this may never have been seized. There have always been checks at ports and borders. @irelandpolitics #WindsorFramework #border https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2023/08/09/news/suspected_cannabis_worth_585_000_seized_at_belfast_harbour-3518461/

#GFA and #WindsorFramework ‘tributes to complexity’: McDonagh at #JHISS

"To those who have criticised various stages of the peace process for fudging things, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with fudge when the alternative is firepower."

The #WindsorFramework is an improvement on the Protocol, but problems remain, says the Lords Sub-Committee in its Report published today.

“The Dup would make second class citizens of nationalist, women, people from the LGBTQ+ community, and those of us who believe that dinosaurs walked the earth 100 million years ago.”

@faduda @Cbfoley

We are all aware of the actions of the #Irish Government behind the scenes during the #Brexit #Protocol #WindsorFramework negotiations

We all know the impact that people like Simon Coveney had in the #EU & #US They out foxed the British at every turn.

Westminster is howling because their lies are falling apart which the Irish along with many others helped expose.

@harriettmb

#Sunak wouldn't have got this partnership if he hadn't agreed to the #WindsorFramework So that isn't going anywhere, much to Jeff's annoyance!

Sunak isn't going to threaten this new shiny reset with America!

So, Jeff & #DUP time to accept that Westminster has made their choice and it isn't you.

The time has come to nominate the Deputy First Minister & accept the result of last's May election!

Tick Tock Jeff!

Here is an overview of last week's key #UKtradepolicy developments by Chris Horseman

- New trade report
- #WindsorFramework
- Oz-NZ
- Ukraine steel
- Colorado deal

Full recap here:

It appears that Ian Og, #DUP MP for the Maldives & Sri Lanka* is issuing Jeff is orders again. Just like he did over the #WindsorFramework

We know exactly who runs the #DUP
(Here's a clue it's NOT the MP for Lagan Valley)

*also a part time MP for North Antrim - if the money is right!

'Ice age' before Stormont is restored says DUP's Ian Paisley https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/dup-mp-ian-paisley-says-27033333

@Indyposterboy @bullivant @JohanEmpa @djm_black

Exactly, it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man, that they could to do a trade arrangement between Scotland & England, whose border is 96 miles long!

When they managed to deal with a Border that is 310 miles long, runs through people's houses and back gardens, which had the most horrendous impact on this island.

Thanks to the #WindsorFramework there is an example of what any future trade border could look like.

@bullivant @JohanEmpa @Indyposterboy @djm_black

In the event of an independent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿(eg Ireland) and trade between 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (Northern Ireland, sure why not! they are becoming more like us)

Would any trading arrangements not be set out as in the #WindsorFramework? They could copy that example for the two nations? Plus it would apply to trade between Northern Ireland & Scotland as it does between Ireland & NI?

The land border between Sco & Eng isn't as controversial as the British border in Ireland is.

@Geri

Sunak knows what is in those messages. He knows that #Johnson blames him for losing the Premiership. He couldn't get him over the #WindsorFramework, so #Johnson is going to use this as the vehicle as an attempt to bring #Sunak down.

Johnson knows he has too much scandal around him for comeback. He wouldn't care bringing about an early #GeneralElectionnow if he ends #Sunak's government.

For once I am supporting #Johnson. If he does this and we have #GeneralElectionnow then okay!

The EU has adopted rules to simplify the movement of goods from Great Britain 🇬🇧 to Northern Ireland, subject to safeguards to protect the EU single market.

The new rules are part of the #WindsorFramework and cover:

☑️agri-food, plants & pets
☑️medicines
☑️some steel products
