Mark Connolly Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Remember when Blackford staged a walkout and they got ripped apart in every news outlet? I wonder if the same will happen now that the Tories have marched out en masse as Joanna Cherry is about to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The DUP never tire of saying that the Union must be preserved at all costs. How would they react if Scotland decided to come out of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet Jeden Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Have I got this right? It’s coming back next week. Letwin and the Tory rebels are probably going to vote for it. Dodds sounds like he is going to engage and negotiate some details (that don’t scupper it with the EU?) And in meantime Boris is not going to write the letter? I’d love to know what his get-out basis is. Although I understand why he’s not saying - until he’s in court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling NI out of all Ireland customs arrangements on the say so of the DUP alone was not its intention. You just contradicted yourself. The DUP represent the majority of Unionist opinion and major changes are supposed to need both Unionist and Nationalist majority approval rather than a majority of one and a minority of the other. What will be interesting to watch now is how far the DUP will go in opposing BJ's deal. Their support might help tip the scales on a second referendum amendment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DUP have 27 votes out of 90, but they're demanding the right to force a customs border in Ireland on their say so alone. That's a massive change to the status quo that the cross community support rules were meant to mitigate, not enable.
