The first in-depth examination of the Windsor Framework. It seeks to separate the government spin from the reality of the agreement. No surprise that it raises important questions on many operational issues. Heart of the problem is the imposition of EU law in this part of the U.K

The House of Lords Committee report on the Windsor Framework lays bear many of the problems presented by the WF.
The real question will be, how does the government propose dealing with these issues?
Further spin will not suffice.

He is wrong of course and knows it. The WF is worse than the status quo, will increase friction and the 🔴🟢 lanes and 'all UK not for EU labelling' are impractical and will not work in October.
