Is Macron speaking from a position of authority? Or is he being a lone voice ?
I’m not batting for any side. If the people of Northern Ireland suffer food shortages ultimately it’s us who agreed the terms with the EU.

You are just not getting it, are you? It was with reluctance that we signed up to the protocol, but, yes, we signed it. As with any new process, documents have to be interpreted.
The problem is that the EU will only interpret this in a way that maximises our problems and takes no account of the problems this causes in NI.
There are straight forward ways that the document as written can be made to work, but the EU is being its normal inflexible and spiteful self.
And you wonder why Brexiteers wanted out.
How can you defend this? That’s why I say you are batting for the other side. As ever.

Er - except that we are not complaining that we cannot export chilled meat products to the EU. Are you trying to divert the argument or misrepresent what those who disagree with you have said?
