Sunak solving the Northern Ireland trading agreement??
At what cost?
I have no sympathy for him at all; he schemed and connived his way into being Prime Minister, through vaulting ambition, and he is way out of his depth.

If he did indeed scheme and connive his way to be PM, at least that’s one thing we can all thank him for, as he is at least more competent than the last two.

He picked up the poisoned chalice because he wanted to be PM. Ambition. No sympathy.

Personally I admire anyone with the guts to take on the post-Boris/Truss mess, knowing very well that the Tories are almost certainly going to be wiped out at the next general election.

(Mods, please correct the OP’s title!)

And yet the DUP will be the first ones to complain if NI's economy is brought down to level of rest of UK!

Do you have sympathe for the DUP, Johnson and the ERG who will do everything to scupper the GFA? Really?

No, I don't. It appears that its only the DUP getting int he way of a reasonable solution that all other NI parties want. They are now a minority, but large enough to scupper matters.

The U.K. ceased to be a member of the EU on 31/01/2020, Laura Kuenssberg probably meant the U.K. was in the transition period which ended on 32/12/2020.

Technically LK was and is wrong.

First he has the opportunity to go down in history by finally resolving the Northern Ireland post Brexit trading agreement but that interfering former PM is stirring up trouble, wanting to retain his version of the Northern Ireland protocol. That’s worked so well …not!
Then you’ve got that other former PM, Truss, taking to the international stage, without authority, by suggestion a European alliance to stand up to China - pity no one’s thought of that before. Oh but they did.
And don’t forget his super new Deputy Party Chair with his thoughtless comments on refugees, a proportion of which could removed if the UK still had access to the European wide criminal records.
He can’t even get his old boss Richard Sharp to stop the former proTory politics presenter Laura Kuenssberg who contradicted the Tory ministers claim of ‘Vaccines, vaccines’ as a Brexit benefit, reminding her the UK was still officially in the EU at the time of the vaccines rollout !
