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 gambled £400m on OneWeb.

The real tragedy is that the Withdrawal Agreement was perceived as BoJo's one policy success story.
And the evidence still unsurprisingly completely missing. Where do you get this idea that the NI protocol is purely about state subsidies? Any evidence? Even if it was, it's still a requirement that the EU doesn't ask of other countries, is a matter for a UK Parliament, and certainly not something that should have to depend on EU approval. If it was about a "level playing field", then the EU would have to ask our approval of anything they wanted to do. Is that the case? Of course not, it's solely about the EU DICTATING to us.
