You asked for an explanation of the facts which I supplied. It helps to be dispassionate when explaining such matters.
As you know, Boris is accepting ECJ jurisdiction due to the NI situation. Why not get the best deal possible by accepting it more widely so we can finish these talks and leave the EU smoothly?

NI and the Republic will unite in due course, I'm sure.

It's not about pandering to a particular subset of referendum participants. It's about getting a good deal for a divided country during a pandemic.
