No it didn't - at least not to the extent of the straightjacket negotiated by May. The Protocol was negotiated on the EU's terms not on any basis of mutual negotiation. The EU was egged on by the perfidious Varadkar, anxious to protect his economy and nothing else. There were other available solutions to keeping the border open that the EU bluntly refused to entertain.

Looking forward while we rebuild after Covid, we can diverge including on GB/NI trade; and we should and take no legalistic nonsense from the EU.

The EU is a bad egg.
