In short, the Bill does not in any way change the Protocol at this point in time.
It will, however, cause great consternation and upset with the EU, Tory Remain MPs and the media.
There are in fact no provisions in that Bill which would, if passed, immediately remove/ alter parts of the Protocol. Everything is to be done at some later unspecified date subject to new regulations.
It contemplates ditching EU State Aid laws, VAT rates and removing the supremacy of the ECJ but does not actually do this. Instead, the UK govt is given the right to do this at some later unspecified date subject to the passing of new regulations.
My take on the NI Protocol Bill:
It declares in favour of the Act of Union but there is no operative provision bringing NI onto an equal footing with GB. Indeed the Bill contemplates ongoing differences between NI and GB. So that declaration is somewhat hollow.

@june_mummery @DavidGHFrost @trussliz Indeed. It would be a good idea to get the detail right this time.
RT @benhabib6: This was my view of @BorisJohnson EU deal as expressed to @SophyRidgeSky during 2019 general election
Govt lawyers now agree the Protocol subjugates key aspects of the union of the United Kingdom
That is why I am so committed to defeating the Protocol

@nigella_i5e What’s begun is the realisation that Boris Johnson is a charlatan. That may result in remainers gaining the upper hand but there could only be one person responsible for that.
@Fuscalino @Conservatives @BorisJohnson @trussliz No
@Fuscalino @Conservatives @BorisJohnson @trussliz I do have an interior motive:
Instil in our invertebrate govt a backbone so it starts standing up for the UK and all its peoples
The Protocol is the ultimate in political weakness. The partitioning of our country
This battle must be won for the sake of our country
@irishborderpoll @KevinPMeagher Ever get the feeling you’re being teed up? 😬

RT @MichaelWCurzon: More from @benhabib6 in @Daily_Express:
On Government's threat of enacting legislation to rip up NI Protocol: "So much time has been spent on not doing anything about this.
"As with most policy initiatives, there has been a lot of hot air but no action."

This is how our Union Jack will soon look if the @Conservatives do not get rid of the Protocol.
Looks diminished? We will be.
