There is, under present circumstances, no reason why the EU can't grant veterinary equivalence to the UK. They have refused to do so because they want to punish us.
Your "I told you so" attitude is no basis for the UK having remained in the EU. They are bullies and want to control the UK by the back door. Sod 'em.

Where's your source to evidence that the UK has tried and been refused veterinary equivalence whilst it has done so for other nations? This would be a solution and I hope we can do something like this.
As to the bigger picture, to quote Jonathan Powell, former chief of staff to Tony Blair, and uniquely well informed on Northern Ireland.
"Critics say that the Conservative government is winding up the loyalists with its hardball tactics. “There is a nexus between the loyalists and the Tory party,” Mr. Powell said. “The Tories are making Northern Ireland politics interesting in a way that we don’t want them to be, which is all about identity.”"
