Interesting research.
A reminder to all political leaders of our obligation to rebuild public trust by working together on Protocol issues.
Unilaterally breaking agreements is no fix.
There is a viable landing zone for agreement with real engagement between UK Govt and EU.

#Russia's attack on a shopping mall in #Kremenchuk is yet another example of how civilians bear the brunt of this brutal war.

RT @irishmissionun: The #SecurityCouncil, in Res 2334, demanded that #Israel immediately & completely cease all settlement activities.

No steps in this direction have been taken. As Amb. Byrne Nason said today - this is uncceptable.

Settlements are illegal, and they undermine prospects for peace.

NI Protocol Bill:

It will damage the GFA, not protect it.
It’s a breach of Int. Law & will damage the UKs reputation.
It’s against business & majority opinion in NI.
It’s unnecessary UK unilateral action when partnership & compromise is on offer from #EU.

This Bill is no fix.
