Owen Polley: The DUP should give its view on the Windsor Framework, not hide behind consultations...

For a year and a half, the DUP insisted that it would judge any protocol deal by subjecting it to its ‘seven tests’. ​

Loving the Left argument that while the Tories are not actually like Hitler, Hitler didn't actually start like full Hitler either, so therefore stuff that isn't like Hitler should be deemed to be like Hitler because "that's how it starts". Perfect.

Lots of ERG members rushed to back the Windsor Framework before they'd even read it, much less understood it. They might one day realise, as with the original protocol they backed, that this aspect makes it far harder to ever achieve future GB divergence from many EU rules.

So even the pet restriction stays. Isn’t it kind of the EU to assure us that “ only simplified travel documents “ will be needed to bring your pet back to visit family in NI And this is what @10DowningStreet expects us to be grateful for

Never mind the propaganda, read the legal text. Here is but one of the EU’s directives. Makes clear SPS movements will merely ‘benefit’ from a “simplification of requirements & procedures for entry into NI from other parts of UK”. The Irish Sea border is in fact entrenched!

If this upsets you - or delights you - that is your politics But this European analysis (that agrees with me) is unarguable The UK is aligning, non-democratically, so as to make the EU run both Northern Ireland and the UK It is now unarguable

My analysis of whether the DUP's seven tests have been met by the Windsor Framework - surprisingly clear & straightforward when I went through them: Test 1 ❌ Test 2❌ Test 3 ❌ Test 4 ✅ Test 5 ✅ Test 6 ❌ Test 7 ❌ Full piece: belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opini…

DUP’s NI Protocol dilemma: Clear that most of its seven tests not met

Deal contains massive improvements – but analysing it against the DUP’s incredibly high bar sees it fall well short of the party's demands

No, our young people are the future for the UK. Invest in them. Training, housing, childcare... Classic short-termism and anti-Britishness from the Tories.

'There are two takeaways from reading the deal. Firstly, that the EU were terrified of Boris Johnson’s Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. Secondly, that the EU is obsessed with stopping the UK from diverging from EU laws.' ✍️ Steven Barrett spectator.co.uk/article/is-r…

Sunak’s Protocol ‘breakthrough’ won’t be enough to save Brexit from oblivion — Sherelle Jacobs (@Telegraph) telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02…

My @Telegraph column with initial comment on the new NI Protocol deal. (Initial because there's still a lot of detail to work through.) There are improvements, but it seems hugely oversold, & may entrench the Protocol framework rather than weaken it. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02…

This is not good @SteveBakerHW @chhcalling @JamesCleverly >> Northern Ireland protocol Windsor Framework "Northern Irish consumers buying products online will only be able to do so if the seller is prepared to fill in customs declarations." belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opini…

Despite major EU concessions, protocol deal is not what Rishi Sunak has claimed

PM’s spin not backed up by the fine detail of a phenomenally bureaucratic new system – and the reality is the Irish Sea border will be staying

I have published my analysis of the proposed deal It is not for me to endorse or condemn it. My role is to say what it does as law As law, it empowers the EU to control a UK government of any kind and traps Northern Ireland outside the union spectator.co.uk/article/is-r…

Is Rishi Sunak's Brexit deal all it's cracked up to be?

Rishi Sunak’s ‘deal’ on the Northern Ireland Protocol is finally out. My first impression is that it is no ‘deal’ at all: the version of the text published by the government is a document with no...

A couple of other observations: the @HTAnews says the GB-NI seed potato ban is not totally reversed. They will be able to be traded from grower to grower but direct to consumer and retail packs still excluded.

Not much has changed on state aid. There are no carve outs. There is a Joint Declaration which details & clarifies a common understanding of what subsidies are subject to the Protocol. An expert explains
Alexander Rose@AlexanderPHRose27 Feb 2023
The Windsor Framework does not make far reaching changes to how State aid is treated in Northern Ireland. It merely clarifies how the existing text of Article 10 applies. It’s difficult to see how this satisfies anybody. #Brexit

Worth reading this about the spin versus reality. Accuracy matters. So the seed potato ban not totally reversed

Break: Ian Paisley, the DUP MP, tells me: the Windsor Framework “does not cut the mustard”. It provides no basis for the DUP to go back into government + Rishi Sunak needs to enter fresh negotiations with the EU
