Boris Johnson, says it is "crazy to have checks on goods circulating within the UK's single market" Rather begs the question why on earth he signed up to precisely that - and sold it as a "fantastic deal...

In fact, to paraphrase Theresa May ...
Either Johnson didn't read the N Ireland Protocol ...
or he didn't understand it ...
or he thought international treaties don't apply to the UK ...
"Which is it ?"

All three and a good many more incompetences.
So with a May election, it’s not to long till the most poison pill of all, might have to be swallowed by the DUP in particular. The lovely Michelle as FM. That if it comes to pass, will be a seminal date in the tumultuous history of NI.

Happy Birthday to Boris's legacy
I fear that will be the case, whether the DUP would nominate a deputy or not is debatable.
Your assuming the the DuP will be the second largest party, latest polling has both the UUP and ALLi in with a shout.

I can't see many farmers voting for the shinners for a while

Is he referring to their support for Claire Bailey's bill?

The provisionals do seem to have a rather partionist mindset regarding farming, create the impression they are the farmers friend in the ROI, against the Eamon Ryan's Green Party while in NI rather keen supporters of Claire Bailey Northern Branch of Eamon Ryan's party.
But the only reason Claire Bailey bill is on the books is because Poots had his head that far up his ass, denying that climate change is happening, that he failed to bring a bill that would be farmer friendly, on till it was too late. Also to forgive me if I didn't pick up that was what you were talking about as it was not only SF that has supported it

Didn't he blame his civil servants for the pace of compiling the department climate change bill?
Bailey I suspect would have introduced her own bill even if the Department bill was published before hers.
he did blame the CS for it, but he the man in charge of them and it a poor leader who blames his workers. had he put more effort into getting the bill done, it would have been done. (also the CS is a very soft target to blame as the can't answer back)
don't think Bailey would/could have brought her own bill, as I don't think it the done thing to introduced a private members bill after a government one. she would have tried to all amendments to it
Oh FFS
Have a look at what's happened in farming in NI recent days
That will mean nothing on polling day, back to the orange and green tribes.
Could be, perhaps a term with one half of the old rivals out in the cold is what we need.
