Under the NI Protocol, the EU could continue to subsidise businesses and countries in the EU, but PREVENT GB from doing the SAME in NI. We would have to ask for their agreement first. Which other non-EU country in the universe allows that? As with so many other issues, which other non-EU country in the universe is ASKED by the EU to do that?

If state subsidy wasn't an issue then we would have signed a deal with the EU by now and we we wouldn't have

The real tragedy is that the Withdrawal Agreement was perceived as BoJo's one policy success story.
