The Union or a United Ireland?

@MichaelWCurzon @B_HQ @bowgroup @JonMarcStanley @Daily_Express ECHR is part of the Brexit deal though. We signed up to staying in it as part of the TCA
RT @BelindadeLucy: So the EU threatens a border in NI/I and a trade war if the UK doesn’t come to heel and submit to its rule. They make the case for Brexit every day. I’ll never stop thanking the 17.4million.

@HobdellTerry @liamnorris1001 @BorisJohnson Because his deal committed us to the ECHR. That is not getting brexit done.
@liamnorris1001 Nope, your not knowing the finer detail before shooting your mouth off is incompetent.
@liamnorris1001 @BorisJohnson You are aware aren’t you that in the deal we did with the EU, we committed to remaining in the ECHR?
RT @BenLowry2: A withering analysis of Boris Johnson's NI Protocol Bill from the former MEP @benhabib6 who essentially says it is trickery

RT @MartinDaubney: An excellent, easy-to-digest analysis of why “Boris’ new Bill isn’t Brexit, it’s Bottle it” by the peerless @benhabib6 👏🏻 https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1625554/Brexit-latest-EU-news-Northern-Ireland-protocol-Boris-Johnson
@AnneMar45451941 High time
RT @MartinDaubney: In 2019, switched-on Brexiteers saw through “oven-ready” guff & stated Boris’s BRINO failed on 3 key points: fishing, NI & continued rule of ECHR law
The grounding of Rwanda flights, continued NI tensions & the decimation of fishing shows we were right

@SirJJQC Jonathan read clause 26. Only clauses 21 to 26 are operative.
All the “meat”, by which you are heartened, is a red herring.
The operative provisions will require further acts of Parliament to get anything done.
This Bill is a marketing document. Nothing more.
@BrugesGroup We are committed to its membership in the TCA. Ask @BorisJohnson and @DavidGHFrost
@a4_m4evr @BorisJohnson It wasn’t until we signed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Now we are committed to the ECHR by international treaty. Do you homework.
So @BorisJohnson how come a European Court interfered in our sovereign right to deport illegal immigrants? Brexit done?
Net result of the Rwandan scheme:
Rwanda up £120 m; British tax payers down £120 million. Illegal immigrants undeterred.
RT @TalkTV: The first deportation flight to Rwanda will no longer take off after a series of successful last minute legal challenges.
Former MEP Ben Habib: "We paid £120million up front to Rwanda."

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.
