They still have a virtual border in the middle of the Irish Sea SCO and, as Michael Gove brazenly said a while ago, they have the "best of both worlds", a special case - still in the single market but they also trade with the UK as part of this precioussssss union. As Jim says - even Paisley junior isn't enamoured with the disruptive protocol, something he and his cohorts never expected. I loved Paisley's description of Johnson as losing all status as a PM with any kinda proper standing in UK politics, a minion! Last week I listened to that senior Tory, Chris Patten (ex Hong Kong governor in the 1990s) on the radio describing Johnson as being NOT A CONSERVATIVE AT ALL BUT THE LEADER OF THE ENGLISH NATIONALIST PARTY. Powerful stuff coming from one Tory who clearly has no time for this PM either.
