The reason Stormont isn’t sitting is because the DUP have taken the hump with a legal agreement (NI Protocol) signed by the U.K. Government - as the article states

Sounds as if you are supporting the anti-democratic DUP…
What I am saying is that we should do what is best for Britain.

And while the NI economy may have improved, that is despite the EU intransigence and the unnecessary bureaucracy they have imposed. Without that, they would do even better.

Yes, but what do you think we have been doing all this time? The EU just put up barriers and stick their fingers in their ears.

Some people didn't realise how childish and awkward the EU would be because they were classed as our 'friends'.

Had both sides co-operated with each other, the DUP would not have got the hump, would they?
