Watched the press conference with @RishiSunak and @vonderleyen
The GFA requires cross community consent for changes to take place. The so called Stormont brake requires cross community consent to stop them.
It is the exact opposite of the provisions of the GFA.

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

This is worth a read.
A divided party; briefing against each other; unable to agree on a direction of travel.
RT @team_greenhalgh: Insight into the feverish herd-like mentality within this @luhc ex ministerial @WhatsApp group. As @EddieHughes4WN + I remained in post, we were removed. Both Eddie + I resigned AFTER @BorisJohnson announced his resignation. We were the counter herd! 👇

RT @JBuckleyMLA: I’ve been asked many times over the weekend about what this week holds. If, as we are led to believe, the PM is to ‘unveil’ a deal with the EU on the NI Protocol, I, alongside colleagues, will judge it wholly on its specific legal content. Not on political or media spin.

RT @RupertLowe10: Northern Ireland was always the EU's price for Brexit.
Our great leaders betrayed our Northern Irish friends, without hesitation.
We've got a strong hand, yet our establishment fails at every turn in any negotiation.
Time for a proper Brexit - including Northern Ireland!

In the Commons on Wednesday @RishiSunak claimed to be a conservative, brexiteer and unionist.
If his “deal” on Northern Ireland is a sellout, he would have proven what so many already suspect:
He is none of these.

RT @JamieBrysonCPNI: The @Centre4TheUnion sub-group to report on the proposed ‘deal’ is ready to begin work. We have also commissioned legal opinion from senior counsel, which will be published.
We will not recommend support for any deal which does not restore Acts of Union (requires end of EU law)
