At PMQs today @RishiSunak did not address @J_Donaldson_MP question on adverse constitutional impact of Protocol.
To be clear: Any “deal” which leaves NI in the EU’s customs union, subject to EU laws adjudicated by its court will be UNACCEPTABLE
Don’t try it Prime Minister

@BillyNo11008959 Absolutely but NI has the devolved authority to set its own rate. It does not have to follow @Jeremy_Hunt’s crazy self-harming rate of 25%.

This is a brilliant article by @TomMcTague
A must read for anyone wishing to understand why the Protocol is so damaging to the UK.
The Protocol must go.

Trade is inherently competitive. HMG needs to be out there fighting for British interests.
We have been far too timid with the EU

He may be in office but @RishiSunak is not in power.
@Conservatives may have a numerical majority but the party is riven with division.
The country is rudderless.

The attempt by @RishiSunak to foist a sell-out of Northern Ireland on @duponline sums him up.
He wanted a path of least resistance to placate the EU, even if it meant turning his back on the United Kingdom.
Good for @J_Donaldson_MP and his colleagues.
Unionists are United!
