They aren't allowed a land border on the island of Ireland because the good Friday agreement says not to.

Theresa may no 1 - brexit means brexit

Dup are voting against the deal. Isn't that a surprise. For brexit purposes in UK governme t can probably ignore them and still win votes but wasn't part of all this deal or another deal business to get Irish parliament up and running again and without the dup it won't be.

I've never understood that. If the DUP won't attend then why not let the rest carry on. Once they start getting left out of the important decisions maybe they'll think twice about sitting in the corner and sulking.

The real reason why the DUP is refusing to agree to Stormont having a Northern Ireland Government is because the First Minister will be the leader of Sinn Fein and they can't stomach that. I agree with you Eccs - why not simply carry on without them and if some law or other needs to be changed to permit that, then just change it.

The whole good Friday agreement and everything it agreed is so complicated few people outside those who are politically involved in it understand it and I am not sure they do. The one thing everyone too far away to understand it seems to agree on is we can never ever go against the good Friday agreement whatever it agreed. So we couldn't have clean brexit because it broke the good Friday agreement etc and if we couldn't change the agreements for whole of UK brexit seems unlikely it could be done for stormonts difficilties either. Sinn Fein want north Ireland part of Ireland and dup want north Ireland part of Britain and there's.not really compromise there it's even worse than coalition.governments which have their problems but are usually parties with most in common compared to other available parties so trting to run things with completely opposite parties is almost impossible.

Rishi sunak priority 1 is off to a good start, inflation has gone up. For some reason the news people were expecting inflation to have gone down but those of us paying for anything can't help have noticed it actually isn't. Other than rishi saying he wants to halve it there doesn't seem much of a plan to keep it down.
