The more I reflect on it the more certain I become that the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill is another one of @BorisJohnson’s tricks.
@AnnieCshandbag @BorisJohnson Good idea!!

RT @colinbrazierGBN: This week it's 15 years since Tony Blair left office.
We continue to underestimate his impact.
Anyone wanting a true assessment of the NIP Bill passed last night should read this article.
@JimAllister on the button.
Everything is left for further regulations. We must see those regulations before being prepared to support this Bill.
@fedemars2 @BryanMilham Read clause 26, then read clause 23.
Clause 15 is governed by these two latter clauses.
Clause 23 makes it clear that no regulation which seeks to vary a past act of Parliament may be passed without first being laid before Parliament.
@SJAMcBride I’m sure you already know the Bill does not achieve what the govt claims it does.
Of course article 16 works. The govt is not invoking it because it hasn’t the courage to do so.
This Bill is smoke and mirrors. Designed to kick the can down the road. Happy to discuss.
RT @LanceForman: @MrHarryCole This is bollocks.
We have so far given £2billion to Ukraine.
We spent over £400billion on Covid lockdowns.
We spend about £12 billion every year on Green taxes.
It’s the Green crap, lockdowns and money printing which has caused price inflation NOT the Ukraine war.
@LanceForman @june_mummery @MrHarryCole Hear hear. Fuel prices were rocketing in November well before the invasion.
Indeed it was the spike in fuel prices that made it so much easier for Putin to finance his war.
Poor quality of commentary from all media on the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.
The passing of the Bill would NOT breach international law. It would empower the govt (subject to further legislation) to vary the Protocol. It would not automatically vary it.
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
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
RT @CatharineHoey: An excellent speech by @J_Donaldson_MP just now in the House of Commons supporting the Protocol legislation
The Commons is to vote on the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.
It is highly contentious with accusations of international law breaking.
But is it a charade or will the govt bring Northern Ireland back into the UK?
RT @TalkTV: Germany is moving closer to rationing gas as Russia cuts supplies to Europe.

RT @TalkTV: Boris Johnson has signalled that his plan to tear up parts of the NI Protocol could be law by the end of the year.
Former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib backs the move:
"I wish the government had the courage. Let's get on with it. What are the EU going to do?"

@thecarolemalone What we are experiencing now are the massive adverse consequences of lockdowns. They didn’t just rob us of our civil liberties, they trashed supply chains and the economy. Our govts laid no plans to head off these problems as we unlocked. They’re still sitting on their hands
@ShaunMetcalfe9 @thecarolemalone @MartinDaubney Nope!
RT @JamieBrysonCPNI: On @GBNEWS setting why if there has to be a hard border between the UK & EU, then the constitutional starting point is that it must be put where it belongs 👇
