What nonsense, the fact is that Brexit ultras never gave a damn about NI before, during or after the referendum. They failed to acknowledge that out of a customs union & single market requires customs & regulatory borders need to go somewhere 1/
No. The 'original sin' was the foolish agreement to the UK/EU so-called 'Joint Report' by the Theresa May govt in Dec 2017. That said that "in the absence of agreed solutions" Northern Ireland would need to remain part of the EU single market for goods and the customs union.…
