Getting Brexit undone. What a shambles: the UK dangling from a zip wire, looking foolish

[alanh]

The english, they just can't stop interfering in other countries.

[garybarrett]

This Tory government is the worst government that the UK has ever had. This is madness, the people of NI do not want what the Tories are doing to NI.

[pauls]

English politicians showing their complete disregard towards anything outside their leafy suburbs
This won’t end well for anyone

[nmacl]

Oh. So Brexit didn’t quite get done after all. My mistake.

The UK has 3 options:
1) Let N.I join the ROI
2) Let N.I in the SM without rest of the UK
3) Or have the UK in SM like N.I but UK must accept all EU rules and regulations without any say on them.

Personally I like option 3

[maddwarf]

Unbelievable, I hope the EU gives the UK a couple of month of no trade if it becomes law

[moow]

I hope the EU will be very tough on the UK for violating international law!!!

This bill allows a non EU country to import into the EU common market without checks . I’m pretty sure there’s going to be trouble ahead

[jimorr]

Come on people of Scotland time to get away from this corrupt lot

[motr]

Just a shame a number of Labour and snp mps abstained. As bad as those owho voted in favour.

They call it "The Northern Ireland protocol" and yet the majority of the people on both sides of the divide in Northern Ireland support the protocol but seeing as Northern Ireland is doing a lot better than the rest of the UK the DUP Unionist party and the British government want to make changes as they can't allow that to happen as it will show how much of a big mistake Britexit was.

The United Kingdom has never been further from united. Scotland and Northern Ireland should have independence from the tory sausages.

Dictatorship on the Thames:
Kim Jong Boris and his offshore tax evasion brexiteer s

[margaretlovelock]

It would have to be agreed to by the EU and as it is illegal I can’t see that happening. An agreement was signed and that is all that matters

[ChrisVillagomez]

Here comes Irish unification, I can feel it, all thanks to the DUP and Boris Johnson! 🇮🇪

[titteryenot]

Ah, now if only the British hadn’t meddled in Ireland back in the day, and not aggressively planted its own people, this issue wouldn’t exist!

[colmquinn]

Best news ever. EU will respond when appropriate. UK stuffed. NI will have only one way A peculiar result. If the UK had behaved in a semi reasonable manner the EU would have adjusted. The aggressive UK action foisted them on their own petard

[Mark]

Breaking the international agreements is wrong.

Well, if the London toff squad are gonna ignore Northern Ireland's majority wish to be part of the EU and 27 other countries, then it's only fair Northern Ireland tells the toffs to do one.
