| Editorial Commentary; The HoL needs to explain why they haven’t apparently highlighted these points of negotiation in their debates! |
|
This week we highlight a well-argued report from Think Tank Policy Exchange, which brings into question just how ‘impartial’ the ‘Remainer Peers’ in the HoL are in their examination of the RoI / NI border issues of Brexit. According to PX, the Irish border is not the insoluble obstacle to Brexit negotiations that it has been made out to be and the UK can leave the single market & customs union while preserving a frictionless border in Ireland. This can be achieved by the use of new technology and in the context of a Free Trade Agreement between the UK and EU, in an arrangement that goes beyond the Customs Partnership and in no way threatens the Good Friday Agreement. If you don’t have time to read the whole PX report, please at least read the Foreword by; Lord Trimble - Former FM of Northern Ireland and the Key Recommendations of the Summary. |
