@wonkybill @rjpark I would challenge you to do your own research.
@Belfast_Bear_82 But Boris who partied his way through lockdown and signed off the protocol should? Okay...
@wonkybill @Redeyes1878 Yes, it is - on the main area of contention which is agri-food produce.
@wonkybill @rjpark Yes. We do. We have worked with and responded to business voices throughout.
@Redeyes1878 Wrong. On all counts. The EU offered a bespoke veterinary agreement: the UK rejected it.
And if by "diluting Brexit" you mean mitigating its worst impacts, you're right: it's imperfect, but our economy is fairing better than every other UK region bar one - London.
@Irishwolfe @Box_NI @micky_murray @QUBelfast What soundbite? I was speaking to a colleague, who got the alley cleared?
@Box_NI @micky_murray @QUBelfast Calling someone a waste of space is abusive. It being your opinion doesn't make it less so. As Micky and I acknowledged, getting the rubbish removed is only part of the solution: those responsible should be identified and made accountable.
You do seem determined to have a row.
@Redeyes1878 No, it was the pursuit of a hard Brexit (with full divergence from EU SM and CU) that necessitated the protocol.
A joint veterinary agreement would eliminate up to 90% of all checks.
@AlbertCooke15 With respect, we are and we're also the most trusted party on the protocol, Albert.
@ExBusinessman Not all food retailers? And food producers have managed to secure supply contracts because of the protocol, creating new jobs.
@Ljfyfe No, we aren't. And people see right through the smear, which is why we continue to grow.
RT @emmccatt: If you are spending £1000+ per month on rent then you can afford £700 per month on a mortgage. If lenders were made to accept rent payment history then a lot more people would suddenly be able to afford a house.
RT @MrsDebbieHJ: Thank you to all the political representatives that took the time to stand in solidarity with the 300 unplaced SEN children in Northern Ireland and to end the systematic abuse of our children by the @Ed_Authority #childrenbeforesystems #stoptheharm #educationisalegalright
RT @ourplaceearth: When #JamieDornan was asked why he spoke up about integrated education at the film premier of #Belfast…
“I don’t see anything positive about dividing kids based on what their parents are. And making it matter from 4 years old is just wrong”
@rjpark I agree. The NIO should absolutely stop doing that and listen to the various sectoral representative bodies, who can give a balanced view on the issue.
@SeeYeeProtocol Not just 'that poll': other polls, too.
Must have hit a nerve if you needed two laughing emojis to effect the pretense of amusement.
@anthonyburke4 Not sure I follow? We'll go back into Stormont when we can, as we were elected to do.
We've also proposed reform to stop any party taking the institutions ransom again.
@Box_NI @micky_murray @QUBelfast No, what's embarassing is you being abusive when the action required had clearly been taken.
@micky_murray @clenagh3 @Box_NI @QUBelfast Knew you would have!
