A very special position

The PM said yesterday, and again this morning, in repect of the new agreement between the UK and EU in regards of the NIP, that NI is in a very special position and "incredibly attractive" for investors as it is has access to both GB and EU markets.

By logic, in Brexit I know, that means that the rest of the UK isn't in as good a position, or as attractive to investors as it only has access to the GM market.

As ever, words mean a lot, and in reality NI is a member of the EU SM for some goods, both NI and GB has access to the EU SM and CU.

It is difficult to understand, and Jools gives up on it, but details are important.

The changes were not technical changes just to the NIP but structural changes to the framework of Brexit itself, so all the above means that the Brexit deal as negotiated then sold to the UK population was sub-optimal, and will continue to be so until GB gets the same membership as NI.

Sunak was a member of the Government that negotiated and was elected to implement Johnson's deal, meaning he knew it was shit then, as he went to some lengths yesterday explaining why Johnson's deal was so bad.

Is this the door to the wholesale rejection of Brexit, or something that will quickly be forgotten?

We shall see.

I am fed up, so tired by Brexit, I wish that the Brexiteers and DUP could just accept this as it is now, so we can just get on with our lives and not talk of it again.

Reality is, within six months I think, there will be calls for further changes or maybe before that, calls for Sunak to go, or even a vote of no confidence, as the headbangers will always want more.

This is the first time a PM or Conservative Leader has faced them down, lets see their next move.
