Yesterday, Rishi Sunak and the EU announced their new Windsor Framework. This replacement for the Northern Ireland Protocol hopes to appeal to Europe, the Northern Irish and the Tory base. It's a risky move for Sunak but if successful Brexit could FINALLY be done

Oh! Meant to say. Sorry about the lower than normal audio quality. I came into the studio early this morning to try and get this video out nice and early. Unfortunately I couldn't get any of the tech to work as I wanted, and I ended up recording the whole video 4 times (wasting about 90 minutes). Anyway, this was the best version I had, and I didn't really have time to run the whole thing again. Fortunately, competent people arrived at about 9am and managed to fix it all for me, so going forward there shouldn't be an issue with any other video - Jack
And the lesson is: Slower and steady, gets the work early and ready 😉
Thank you for all the work you guys do. I was waiting for your video to get all the for and against arguments this topic needed 👍👍
Sound’check 1 2, 1, 2
I was about to comment about that. Thank you for mentioning it
Noticed right away, didn't really affect my overall enjoyment and intaking of the content. Thanks for the communication, cool to hear the behind-the-scene reason hehe ^^
Point the mic at your mouth rather than talking across the top of it, the SM7B doesn't work properly the way you're using it. It has a fairly narrow cone zone of ideal pick up, that's why it sounds randomly roomy as you move by a few centimetres, you're leaning in and out of that zone.
Wow, a green lane, where goods can move freely without any unnecessary red tape.
If only there was something like that on a European scale.
Haha any member in the eu has it since there is free moment for goods (with correct relatively simple import form)
The EU is nothing but red tape.
@@twinssword They're not big on sarcasm where you're from are they?
@@ietomos7634 To be fair to many people could post this and being serious about it. I had some completly odd responses to comment i made like nicely sarcastic.
There is. You just need to change the label in Northern Ireland.
So it's basically what the EU suggested two years ago but with a new and improved British sounding name.
And it's better and happier for it. 😂
These are the games we must play. We live in a society.
@@chris7263 well used to this in Ireland any time there is a scandal over here with a state or semi state body they just rename it to pretend that there has been some reforms made. Makes me think the Irish government was heavily involved in "negotiations" 😂
"Improved" sure but expect they will hate it in less than a month
That's why the EU is the adult in the room. They don't care what it's called or that it's originally their idea, they just want it over with so they can deal with the neighbour's bully child.
The British PM calmly commented on the agreement by saying: "Northern Ireland is now in the fantastic and unique situation in the world where it can enjoy the benefits of the single market and the British one".
No one has reminded him that what he says is a lucky situation is also the situation in which the whole of the United Kingdom was before Brexit.
Not really true, Northern Ireland has a unique access to both the EU single market and the British market whereas before the whole UK had EU single market access and ALL the EU had access the UK market including Northern Ireland. Now that it's only N.I that has full access to both markets it gives Businesses based in N.I an advantage over other UK and EU based companies.
@@stevencornwall5607 So no advantage for the UK compared to the pre-brexit condition.
@@stevencornwall5607 how is that an advantage over all of the UK being in the single market?
The advantage being that the UK will soon be joining the CPTPP, and NI will benefit from that trade agreement (the EU is not a member).
@@RandomBloke007ven so uk will still not benefit from EU market 😂
The year is 2123, Brexit is still ongoing a new NI protocol has been announced by the UK Government. 58th time’s the charm! 🤞
JRM has said it takes 50 years. So in 45 years Brexit ill be done! YaY!
The year is 2123, and UK has just proposed a new brexit deal. The major world powers: USA, China, India, Kurdistan, and Azerbaijan are all in support of this bill. Everything looks gaudy.
@PatchesRips Scotland will still exist in 2123?
There won't be a United Kingdom by then...
@@chrimbus71 Scottish independence will never die.
Let's be honest, the Northern Ireland Protocol has nothing to do with why the DUP aren't going along with power sharing, it's because they don't want to play second fiddle to Sinn Fein
They signed the Good Friday agreement in good faith. They should suck it up
Absolutely
@@Trecesolotienesdos The DUP did not sign the Good Friday Agreement.
They are only party that didn't.
The TUV didn't exist at the time.
its just a matter of time till the Union is dead. and the world will cheer not because they care about those regions but because they hate the UK. Its baffling how little they understand about the amount of bad will they have sown historically through their monarchy.
I think that's probably part of it, but it's likely become a genuine sticking point now. They genuinely want to be an equal and integral part of the UK.
''This break would only be used as a last resort'' The DUP ''Hold our beer''.
It sounds similar to the filibuster thing or whatever it's called in America
@@imakid42069 There is a reason the european courts are still in play..... Also if the UK governement just dicides this is BS we gonna implement it they kind of look silly.
I give it about three months.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂m'y exact thought
* brake. Why do so many omadhauns find this hard?
I didn't give Sunak that much credit initially but he played well, especially while involving Charles so he can name it "The Windsor framework"
And it allows English goods back to Europe through the backdoor
@@budapestkeletistationvoices There's probably good money to be made buying and reselling goods through this lane if has a good head for navigating regulations like this.
The only thing Sunsk did was to stop th confrontational attitude toward th EU.
The reason for the changes is that the EU cares more about maintaining the peace in Northen Ireland than the tories. I, like many in the EU was very annoyed with thos concessions but, after calming down a bit, I realised that peas is, indeed, more importan. I hope that those who wants to heat things up fail.
Give peas a chance.
@@benicolay 😂
I’m so happy the EU loosened some of its regulations. I am a professional smuggler, I was worried that my career was going to be at risk. 😮💨
Most lucrative trade is in the channel rather than the Irish sea
The tighter the regulations the better the profit margins for smugglers... That's obvious.
If either the UK or the EU doesn't get smugglers arrested or enforce rules, it's in the protocol that this "loosened regulations" will be swiftly and firmly shut. So, sorry pal, bad luck.
@@Gary-bz1rf "now"
@@Gary-bz1rf OK Gary, thanks for your border control insight, we can safely conclude there are now no more drugs in the UK since we left
The protocol is just an excuse by the DUP, they will never say yes to Stormont because that'd mean they'd be deputy first ministers to Sinn Féin and they will never accept that
Why would anyone accept being deputy to nationalist socialist terrorists?
Bingo. They didn't have a problem with the border until they came second in an election and threw their toys out of the pram.
All they want is a hard border with the republic
But they are being offered something "better", and they will have to defend to the voters why they are failing to improve the situation. "Vote for us to keep things broken" is not a good slogan. I would say the Stormant Brake is so transparently there to get the DUP to function, that Rishi and Ursula might as well have said "...we have to treat the DUP like toddlers in the process, and this is how we are doing it...".
Even though the First Minister and the Deputy First minister are equal positions.
So, basically, after threatening to immediately break it, the Tories now have agreed to respect the agreement they validated, got elected on and signed off with the EU. Now the EU has to pretend that Sunak has achieved something new, even if the text is mainly written by EU teams based on proposals made by the EU for several years, in order to give him 'a win.' Little Britain.
No, the EU conceded on a lot of points. It’s pretty much written on British terms
@@RRaymer lmao big cope
@@JoseRodriguez-lp7rs I always wonder if they actual believe that or if they being sarcastic. To maney nutters around.....
@@RRaymer Those were points proposed by the EU several times in the past. Now finally accepted by UK as a ‘solution.’ This is about packaging and selling to the rest of the UK government MPs.
@@lours6993 Watch the video again. None of these were proposed by the EU before. Liz truss was the first to bring the idea of green/red lane. The EU admitted that they gave concessions in order to protect the Good Friday agreement. If that agreement was broken if you watched Ursula Vons speech - and a hard border was drawn, the IRA threatened attacks against Brussels/Berlin. She knew it was in the the EU’s interest a deal was reached so violence doesn’t reach the EU doors itself
Europeans: "How complicated can British law get?"
The British: "Yes."
Hold my beer…
Biden /EU : "Lets have a world war with Russia "
The British : " Yes "
Thought this format died
Why is TLDR pretending that Sunak came up with this deal? The EU proposed this years ago.
Well, the Tories are back.
it´s the british way
They'd gotten really weirdly pro UK recently. In small but very noticable ways
Really? Why? It doesn't seem to give the EU anything.
@@DaDunge Yeah, I see a lot of comments on this video saying the EU proposed most of these things ages ago, but what I don't get and I was already wondering at the end of the video is what the EU gets out of it. It seems like they lose out on having clear jurisdiction in cases of conflict, since Stormont is explicitly _not_ under the ECJ, and I haven't heard any explicit benefits other than slight improvements in international relations and maybe slightly improved trade with the UK, albeit through the black market. If anyone could explain, I'd be grateful.
I am from the EU, and honestly the idea that a handful of unionists in NI can hold in any shape of form the lawmaking of the whole EU(nearly 400mil. people) to ransom, is quite frankly obscene..
They tend to start ethnic cleansing when they're upset.
I am sure the right in the UK will find a way to make a mess out of this
TOD DAM MARXISMUS
If the DUP are happy then Ireland is getting screwed.
Up Ireland !!!
We won't be stopped
They are not happy
Not a chance bud. As much as we complain about our politicians they're on the ball constantly when it comes to dealing with backwards looking cunts like the DUP and tories.
We'll be fine... I want my brothers and sisters in the north to be safe and secure. We would welcome them with open arms.
This is the most Irish logic I've ever heard.
@@amh9494 Exactly, because it is completely true if you know anything about DUP behaviour.
Tories got brexit done, are getting brexit doner and come next election donest.

@@dondoodat Why wouldn't you want to live in a country that serves it's OWN people first and foremost?
What have you got against the UK recovering all the lost industry and world leading endeavours?
Let me ask you a question, if you left your wife & kids behind (if you even have any) and paddled across the channel then stowed away on lorries going through 10-12 different countries to get to say Syria, would you expect them to give you FREE housing, FREE healthcare, FREE clothing, FREE food and in most cases where I live in Scotland a FREE public transport pass to get about?
Now do you wonder why so many so called "immigrants" head for our shores?
Is it really that difficult to understand?
And now that Brexit is real it's also no coincidence that immigration has drastically fallen because the gravy train is coming to an end.
@@SMSCOOBY71
That's the most drivel I've read in a long time.
Is it a copy and paste you use when you don't have anything else to post ?
Utterly dishonest silliness, get a grip.
@@SMSCOOBY71 Brexit Got The Tories Done.
@@SMSCOOBY71 The UK never lost industry to the EU or as a result of the EU.
"The UK holds an equivocal veto that is not subject to the ECJ's oversight". Yes, but you are missing an important point: If the UK does veto, then the EU is allowed to "take appropriate remedial measures".
So they basically took the EU proposal and put a UK aka Windsor sticker on it. That's the spirit. Yay BREXIT.
I guess the devil is in the details.
The questions for me are:
- How does the EU prevent smuggling from UK to Ireland (send goods to NI through the green lane, then sell them to a 2nd party to be sent to Ireland). Where can checks be made on this (e.g. NI customs must actively prevent goods intended for Ireland before they get to the UK-IRL boarder, and data share with their Irish counterparts?).
- If the Stormant Brake is applied, and if the EU do not see it as justifiable, it breaks the Framework? What would be the consequences?
If there are no details for these in the framework for these I would consider the EU has given up a lot in this negotiation.
I am honestly very concerned about the thought of an Assembly from a region where the majority voted for Brexit have veto power on EU regulations. The democratic deficit is actually worsened for EU citizens
The first one is meant to be dealt with data sharing, obviously there will always be some degree of a black market, but if labelled correctly and tracked you could detect if large shipments of certain items are entering the green lane when they shouldn't be. In turn, if I recall correctly, items that are causing concern can be moved into the red lane for a time to put checks on them. This is already done for higher risk items.
The Stormont Break seems to me to be a nuclear option for Stormont, but also one which they do not have full control over. Both the UK and Stormont would need to be in agreement, and for all the fancy additional words on top of that - when it is activated, what it is essentially doing is passing over to the EU and UK leadership to deal with the issue on a political level. Which is how all these things would need to be dealt with regardless, once you leave a specific legal jurisdiction then the conversation becomes a political one between the powers that be.
If the UK and EU have turned a corner on their relationship, and this is done constructively, then I see no reason why there should be major issues going forward. I do not think an anti-EU stance is going to be a vote winner in the UK, and part of the issue with a lot of the Pro-Brexit side of things is that they view being "Pro-Brexit" as "Anti-EU" when really, there is nothing necessarily contradictory with being Pro-Brexit and also wanting to collaborate with the EU across a whole host of areas for mutual benefit. In fact, to me the argument for Brexit that involved being more flexible and setting our own regulations is undermined by automatically ruling out such collaboration - if we can pick and choose, and the UK and EU benefit, why not? It's good for relations too.
@@guntguardian3771 That would mean that there would need to be checks on the 'green lane' as well - e.g. to make sure that products are labeled correctly (e.g. "only to be sold in N.I."). I highly doubt that the UK would want to invest time and money into this.
Ireland already checks goods coming from the north, its just not done at the border. They do random road stops and intelligence based raids. Ireland is one of the most pro EU countries on the planet, there is no way they are going to let some unionists or northern irish people run wild smuggling goods through Dublin.
@@willmako5009 The veto is not EU wide it is only Northern Ireland wide. For example. EU says tomorrow "All sheep must be stamped with mark x" - the new rule applies in NI, NI pulls the break - This break does nothing in the EU it stops for the moment NI sheep having to be marked. Then EU & UK(westminister) discuss how it will apply to NI, they can agree among themselves that NI will indeed mark sheep, or they can say that Ireland will check NI marked sheep. The UK and NI have no veto inside EU, no matter what they do the EU laws will roll out in the EU. Also NI voted to stay in the EU, they didnt vote for brexit. They were taken out against their wishes.
I just love the way Sunak/Johnson tell the people of NI how lucky they are to be in the single market and customs union and can thus enjoy hassle free trading with the EU. Unlike the rest of the UK. Same as them wanting Ukraine to join the EU.
Wouldn't put it past Boris to enjoy seeing Ukraine join the EU to upset the Franco-German apple-cart.
Population of 44 million gets Ukraine around 60 seats in the EU Parliament. Nightmare for the biggest net contributor to the EU, Germany. Between a rock and a hard place. The more countries join the weaker the Franco-Germans become. Especially if national vetoes are replaced by quantity majority voting. All that lovely German lolly being spent like there's no tomorrow and they can't do much about it. The Woke Brussels having a conservative Vizegrad group as a rival. Hungary and Poland will welcome Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova with open arms! Slava Ukraine!
Lol. NI still have toes.
so what was brexit for ????
Wow, UK is having a lot of trouble creating trade deals with a trade a block THEY ARE LITERALLY SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY.
You know, one would think they'd want to join the trade block and reduce friction further.
It's not a trade bloc. The UK thought it was joining one and didn't read the small print and the gruesome details about political and financial union. They admitted it.
What trade bloc in the World demands a share of your fish!
None, the WTO and CPTPP don't.
👉 If there wasn't a trade deal they would have traded on WTO terms anyway. It wasn't a big deal.
👉Only 4% of UK companies actually trade with the EU.
The goose that lays the golden eggs is services not goods.
For most Brexiteers it was never about trade which should improve eventually simply because the UK has taken back control and can legislate for itself not be only 1/28th. Sovereignty and the Constitution were always far more important.
The UK was in the EU for convenience. The problem was, the EU was never interested in a relationship of convenience. The EU is primarily a political project, intent on gradually replacing its members’ law, governance and institutions, with its own. In short, the EU required a far deeper level of commitment than the UK was prepared to offer.
The UK’s relationship with the EU had many perks. But are the perks really worth it in the long run, if you’re not prepared to offer the required level of commitment?
And in the case of the UK and the EU, the answer was simply “no”.
Much of the opposition to Brexit fails to understand this. People are upset about losing the perks and understandably so. But when it comes to the flip side of the perks - the commitment - they are often dismissive or blasé. One often finds Brexit opponents denying the true nature of the project: “It’s just a trade bloc”; “Its rules are basically just trade rules”; “It doesn’t constrain national sovereignty…” are things one often hears.
I’m usually quite dismissive of claims like that. It shows the speaker is aware about very little about the union they claim to want to be a member of. You don’t make a case for something by denying the reality of that ‘something’ you’re trying to make a case for. For me, they prove the very point they claim to be arguing against.
You want to be a member of a trade bloc that’s all peace, love, harmony and goodwill towards mankind, governed by simple, commonly agreed rules but with no overarching political ambition of its own? How very interesting. Go set one up then because a union such as the one you described, is not on offer. In the European context, it simply does not exist. You have just described, very eloquently indeed, why the UK should not be a member of the EU.
Extract from B. Lane.
Imon, I would love to join a trade block. Unfortunately the EU is not one. It is a political project. This project uses the threat of free trade REMOVAL in order to control the direction of the project. In case you were in any doubt the aim is complete amalgamation of all our countries into a United States of Europe.
7 years on, and the UK is STILL discussing Brexit... LOL
Will this mean our PM could now order a correct fitting suit ?
Saw a video off BBC on the subject a day ago, started watching it and could not finish.
Wanted to find out what the deal is but there was so much filler at the start that I couldn't stand it.
Thanks for being here TLDR!
The BBC and this website ? Wow , what an informed citizen you are!
@@benitolazio8193 Wheres you are informed well enough to uncover top secret conspiracies everywhere , I see by your other comments..
Good on ya mate!
Starmer is going to support the framework for sure. If it passes and Labour votes no, they will look bad. And if it they vote no and the framework not pass, then Starmer will have to deal with the mess when and if he gets elected. Its best to just get it over with. Besides, this is not a pure win for Sunak. On a fundamental level, he is fixing a mess the Tories themselves created. Starmer seems to understand this too.
Agreed, labour have just got to rip the shit out of the Tories about it being a deal the EU offered first. Really hammer at home and ridicule them."You mean Northern Ireland have a shittier version of the veto power we used to have in the EU? Red and green lanes sound extremely similar to expressways…, Great job you've worked really hard on there Conservative party".
what needs to happen NI Wales and scotland needs to tell england we out and brake away
don't think balkanising the island will make things better
If DUP won't accept this, will they be known as the Windsor Not?
Which is exactly why the Crown was pulled into this: it's specifically to make the DUP look bad if they reject it. After all, why would loyal Ulster subjects of the Crown reject something the King endorses?
The DUP will be unhappy about everything as they too know that demographics is pushing Northern Ireland down the long one-way slope to Unification which has been the EU/Republic of Ireland ambition all along.
The nationalists could be positive about this, English Nationalists. Hard to see why they should subsidise Scotland & Northern Ireland anyway.
Have you spotted the ROI leader in Ukraine? Promising them tanks? After all the Ukraine want to join the EU?
It's the first principle of any government to protect it's own people.
Does the ROI own any tanks? If not why not? Does it have it's own air force? No, it has some training aircraft. The ROI can't afford a viable defence force. Like it can't afford a National Health Service.
Who would support Ulster? Itself? The ROI?
An ROI newspaper polled it's readers.
It asked 3 questions.
1). Do you support a United Ireland! Over half did.
2). Would you be prepared to pay extra taxes?46% said yes
3). Would you subsidise Ukster? 13% said yes.
There is no political independence without financial independance.
If the ROI can't afford it's own National Health Service how on earth could it afford to subsidise Ulster's National Health Service?
I don't think the wider EU really gives cares or thinks about Northern Ireland.
Noone except Ireland and the UK care about NI. As long as there's peace there, it doesn't matter that much what they do.
Here we go again… No. There is no “long one way slope to unification”. Support for unification hasn’t budged since the good Friday agreement in 1998: polling in December found it at just 26%, unchanged since 1998. Roughly a third of northern Irish Catholics support continuing the union with Britain, to just over half who want united Ireland. The growing nonsectarian population also majority supports the union. The nationalist parties overall lost support last election. Irish unification is a very, very, very long way off, if it’s ever happening at all
Nope. I don't want that shower down South. Thank you very much.
I don't honestly know anyone who does.
British politics being dysfunctional is a reflection of a dysfunctional electorate. I'm in the UK for work from Australia and I'm in awe with the sheer number of people who are apathetic towards civics and some voting decisions are made on a whim or emotion (brexit voters, Tories voters). I've met heaps of people who just don't talk or think about politics and a lot of people appear to be willfully ignorant to economic situation they put themselves in.
It’s tribal, not rational
Bravo, at least 2 of us can see it
ALL parties and positions have voters who are irrational and emotional and vote on a whim. Spoilers: people see the world differently.
I'm sure you've noticed that a lot of people here have been convinced they're stupid and have almost a fear of talking about economics or politics in any real depth beyond the superficial or jingoistic nationalism.
What you're seeing is part of the class system that so rigidly controls this country.
I'm willing to bet that most of the people you mention are working class or have relatively recent working class roots.
There's an astounding stigma against talking about certain topics in 'too clever' a way, especially since the unions were broken.
French woman here, I feel the same.
The pictures help so much.
"Grandfather? You know those stories you used to scare us with about a thing called brexit? I heard it's over now..."
"It is my sweets, it's over... (for now...)"
This seems to progress in an acceptable manner on Sunak's watch.
As long as England wallows in its exceptionalism, brexit will NEVER be 'done'. The UK should never have been allowed into the EU. It is high time the EU is done with the UK.
Thatcher begged to enter the EU because UK was in a big economical crisis at the time. We were just stupid enough to accept the exceptionalism. Now we are done with it thanks to Brexit, I do wish England to rejoin but next time on EU terms. Before that Scotland should be independent and Ireland reunited.
The UK was never a right fit for the Community. We have had a parliament since January 1265. The voter is used to knowing who they vote for and what policies will be carried out. Contrast that to the EU? Did you vote for the EU President? Or the EU Council? Or the EU Commission? If not why not? Don't they trust the public?
That is the way the EU was set up on purpose. To be run by elites for elites. Only the EU Council and the EU Commission can enact legislation. Not the EU Parliament.
President DeGaulle was right, he refused UK entry twice. He knew we would be a square peg in a round hole. This became obvious later with Maastricht and Lisbon. In it's present guise the EU is probably doomed.
You could also say Greece should never have been allowed to join the Eurozone.
There is a criteria of maximum of 3% debt to GDP to.join the Eurozone. Italy were dishonest and claimed their debt was less. The then Greek government seeing what the Italians had done did the same. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what comes next. Yanis Varoufakis was right but his Prime Minister, Tsipras, let him down. Most of the Greek debt wasn't Greek but German and French. Deutschebank and Bank Paribas could have ended but for the Eurozone printing money and giving money to them, telling the Bundestag it was for the "Greeks". The third loan for the "Greeks", actually Greeks didn't see a Euro. 20% of 18-25 Greeks have left sadly. So much for the EU! In the real world Greece should have reclaimed the Drachmae and been able to devalue. The Eurozone is like Hotel California. You can check out anytime but you can't leave!
The Golden Rule is those with the gold make all the rules.
The EU is a Franco-German hegemon. All others are in effect vassal states. Nothing gets passed without the Franco-Germans wanting it. Power is an illusion for the others.
In the Eurozone technically Frankfurt is independent of Berlin. In practice?
The bigger the EU becomes the worse democracy which the Greeks invented, will get. I know things weren't great in Greece '67-'74. Not so great now. Do the maths. If Ukraine join, a population of 44 million gets them something like 60 seats in the EU Parliament. This has already caused sleepless nights in Germany. They will lose some of their power. It's inevitable. As the single biggest net contributor via the EU budget and having less control of it is being between a rock and a hard place. Varoufakis predicts the first country to leave the Eurozone will be Germany. You can see his logic. It's only going to get worse for them and you. You will have less control than even you do now. The Eurozone is now, effectively, the Deutchesmarkzone and there's little you can do about it. You should have maybe had Grexit if you been better organised.
The Germans apparently want to treaty change. If national vetoes go out in favour of qualified majority voting Germany and all countries will have even less power to stop the runaway train.
Hope things turn out well for you.

@@English_Dawn Here's MY extract: 80 years of unparalleled growth, prosperity, peace since the EU was founded. Not bad, after European civilization was almost wiped out TWICE in the first fifty years of the 20th century.
Amazing content. The most informative source on the topic.
Good explainer, as usual, lads. A small quibble though: you speak of "the politicians in Northern Ireland" as being essential to the deal going through. In fact what you're referring to is the two parties who clearly oppose the protocol in principle (the DUP and the TUV) who represent a total of 28.9% of the first preference vote in Northern Ireland. Even the UUP (11.9 % 1st preference) is almost certainly going to be onside with the new agreement and everyone else (representing 60% of the vote) has virtually no problem whatsoever with even the old version of the protocol. The disappearance of all those parties from recent discussions on the protocol is less mysterious than it is grating, however: the DUP on its own has the power to stymie devolution and normal politics in Northern Ireland. The DUP and TUV emphatically do not represent "the people of Northern Ireland", nor even a plurality (much less a majority) of those people. One should always be careful to point that truth out.
Thanks again for your efforts!
There are two possibilities arising from this deal in the future
1: NI products become cheaper due to UK VAT laws and start affecting ROI’s market/business which will bring this deal under scrutiny. Moreover the possibility of mixing of green and red lane and smuggling is also quite high.
2: NI laws become more and more equivalent with EU laws making products of NI expensive for GB to import thus drifting NI more to EU.
1 this will work within NI but not when you cross the Irish border then you have to comply with EU regulation.
2 is most likely within the next 10-20 years.
Basically this deals allows a parallel import/export road just for NI. Everything which shall go to the EU directly will go through the "green lane".
Its the most simple agreement what could be made. I just hope for UK the DUP and Tories backturds won't be stupid again.
@@fan2hd277 The border on the Island of Ireland is _open_ though. Nobody can prevent people from the RoI to buy things in NI.

Hopefully, there’s been enough pandering to the DUP.
great report and analysis like always :)
Why can't the rest of the UK have the same deal as NI? It sounds wonderful.
as long as we bend the Knee tae the EU, ECJ , we get our Sovereignty BACK , WHIT A LOAD A ,SHITE.
They had and decided to quit
Maybe because rest of is don't want to have anything to do with EU
As an EU citizen I'm happy if we can finally find an agreement especially with the new IRA coming back but clearly if the ECJ is not in charge I hope the EU parliament will cancel that...
the EU has no right in tell us what to do! they only are doing this so other country in the EU doesn't leave that undemocratic country. where you don't get to decided who runs the EU
The new ira......
1. The New IRA never went away they're a tiny break away group that doesn't have the support of Nationalist and
2. You do realise that Loyalist terrorist groups have continued to be active and never disbanded even though they were suppose too along with the PIRA 22 years ago! They literally threatened violence this week across the North.
3. These terrorist groups represented by the LCC Group have had regular meetings with the DUP and the West Minister government over the NI protocol, Lizz Truss had a secret meeting with them all while one of them tried to murder the Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney with a pipe bomb as he was attending a peace talk in Belfast....but ya only mention the New IRA
What an ignorant comment.
IRA? What?
@@Anthony-xd1lj In this case we forget about the good friday agreement and we can put back the borders and the new IRA will be very happy and the NI will go back into civil war...

Will the UK now be publishing the 'Windsor Framework' in truly 'British' blue leather covers, made in France?
What exactly is the plan to prevent re-export of goods from NI to the RoI? Since there are no checks allowed at the border on the island of Ireland this could open a huge loophole.
You're acting like we've got anything worthwhile of value to offer…
The Irish do checks already, just not on the border. They also make them random and intelligence based. Ireland has already been doing these checks since before brexit for things like UK diesel and petrol being imported. The good friday agreement means relations must be "Normal" a border check is not normal, but random road checks on goods is normal. These checks in theory can happen anywhere on the island and do. But lets say they get them down to the south undetected, now how do they get them to the EU, they need an Irish person to put them on a ship that bypasses the UK and heads straight for the EU. So they put 1 cargo container of lets say TVs on the ship. Dublin will notice this cargo container. Dublin does random checks on containers, they already look for smuggling. They are a trusted port and very pro EU. The amount of ships that bypass the UK totally and go straight to the EU is actually quite small, its at a level that pretty much carries whats expected. If you got away with smuggling then its at levels that happen already. even something small like 100 new cargo containers to smuggle stuff would be noticed. Irish customs can carry out searches in Ireland without a warrant. So if they see "Paul from Dublin" put the goods on the ship, they can walk into pauls house and search it and search every property paul owns, and go through all pauls documents. Of couse it will happen, it will always happen, but really, only at levels that it already does and they are already actively combating it.

There is no 'old protocol' the NIP is still fully in force. The Stormont Brake can also result in the application of sanctions by the EU.
Finally?
Wait, what stops a company from setting up a green lane entity, then sell those goods to a separate bu sending those goods off to the eu without checks?
I think there is some sort of trusted trader scheme. Also I think there is meant to be different packaging. But you are probably right. This morning there are probably a few repackaging factories in the works to take advantage.
How would they sell those goods to a separate business without checks? They still have to go over the border.
They still get to tax these companies in the EU, also there's tax on petrol to EU countries, tax on vehicles since they'd be EU vehicles and not UK ones, so the EU countries still get some tax income from it. So costs will still be higher but not as high and also more work as you now have to deal with logistics EU to N.Ireland to UK instead of EU to UK pre-brexit.
I believe that they want to solve that by not allowing goods to be sent through the green lane to warehouses which transport to the EU
someone will always take advantage but if trade significantly increases I'm sure somebody will check
This is the make or break moment!
Could you do an explainer which highlights the differences between this deal and previous (seemingly identical) ideas suggested by May and, before her, the EU negotiators?
@@jeffcxx The EU suggested such a plan to the UK years ago. I am sure the details are different, but... the idea is likely very close to an EU proposal.
Von Der Leyen smiled a lot, but was in fact just trying not to laugh out loud. The fact that Sunak thinks accepting a deal offered by the EU years ago counts as a 'victory' is indeed amusing 🤭But I do hope for the UK that applying (rejoining is such a presumptuous word) for EU membership is one step closer now. Poverty isn't fun.
A couple of thoughs
The Green lane - also Trusted Trader?? how much of the trade will go through that, will it just be large companies such as Supermarkets and Courier firms who will be expected to do the work of the checks before hand?
GB Goods allowed in NI - has Sunak tacitly agreed to maintain UK standards in line with EU ones?
The Stormont Brake - needs to be agreed by UK Govt - will that ever happen (esp if there is a Lab Govt )?
The Stormont Break feels like one of those buried landmines that's going to be fine for years until suddenly it gets activated over something and then the whole agreement falls apart
@@Maawaa I give it a year and a half.
Imagine only being remembered as Borris Johnson's "successors"
I had no idea NI was in such a mess with regards to trade. Crazy
Is this going to help EU and UK business to trade more seemlessly? A lot of businesses stopped trading with the other market since Brexit cause of all the fees and VAT etc
Britain was always at a disadvantage on this front anyway, so it was never the level playing field it was made out to be. However, in terms of day to day trade, with mainland UK and the EU, this will/should have little to no impact.
Not entirely sure until the text gets published, but based on the scope of this the answer should be no. Unless the UK officially starts a massive smuggling operations via NI, which would automatically result in the activation of the break clauses.
There are some existing workarounds within the NI protocol that result in better trade terms (like moving your business to NI or the ROI) and there is a chance a few more appear, but is not very likely that potential new ones would be any better.
No, it doesn’t make much of a difference. Since Brexit there have been a lot of different barriers to trade with the EU and by extension also NI (which remained in the EU customs Union). The only thing this deal does is create a way to avoid those barriers if sending goods to NI. There is no impact on trade with any part of the EU proper.
Nope, this just deals with the problems of the island of Ireland.
The Windsor Framework is nothing more than a new fancy name for the NI Protocol. The ERG through the DUP under the bus again lol.
Tell me you don’t understand the new deal without telling me you don’t understand the new deal
@@GlitchNectar tell me you don't understand the old deal without telling me you don't understand the old deal.
Nothing in this falls outside the scope of the NIP.
Just listening to the Windsor Framework has me questioning ways people could potentially break the rules.
How does the Framework ensure that businesses mark Greenlane goods honestly? How will they prevent people from lying about the destination of Redlane goods just to get around the paperwork?
And how will they ensure the Stormont Break isn't abused? If they only need 30 MLAs from 2 parties to veto rules they don't like, what's stopping them from having a member of one party cross the aisle to another so 29 members of 1 party and 1 "member of another party" trigger the Break?
It's clear that something needs to be done to the NI Protocol, but they'd better take a close look at the details of the Framework to patch out any future headaches.
Also, I've heard mention of a "Trusted Partner" (or similar wording) system, which worries me that really it's just a facilitator for large companies that does nothing for anyone else.
Can someone explain to me what benefits the EU gets out of this? Just terminate the NI protocol (as the UK already is in noncompliance with it), revoke NI access to the single market, watch NI and UK economy crash even further and get Irish reunification done...
I really hope the European Parliament strikes this shit down.

The UK was in the EU for convenience. The problem was, the EU was never interested in a relationship of convenience. The EU is primarily a political project, intent on gradually replacing its members’ law, governance and institutions, with its own. In short, the EU required a far deeper level of commitment than the UK was prepared to offer.
The UK’s relationship with the EU had many perks. But are the perks really worth it in the long run, if you’re not prepared to offer the required level of commitment?
And in the case of the UK and the EU, the answer was simply “no”.
Much of the opposition to Brexit fails to understand this. People are upset about losing the perks and understandably so. But when it comes to the flip side of the perks - the commitment - they are often dismissive or blasé. One often finds Brexit opponents denying the true nature of the project: “It’s just a trade bloc”; “Its rules are basically just trade rules”; “It doesn’t constrain national sovereignty…” are things one often hears.
I’m usually quite dismissive of claims like that. It shows the speaker is aware about very little about the union they claim to want to be a member of. You don’t make a case for something by denying the reality of that ‘something’ you’re trying to make a case for. For me, they prove the very point they claim to be arguing against.
You want to be a member of a trade bloc that’s all peace, love, harmony and goodwill towards mankind, governed by simple, commonly agreed rules but with no overarching political ambition of its own? How very interesting. Go set one up then because a union such as the one you described, is not on offer. In the European context, it simply does not exist. You have just described, very eloquently indeed, why the UK should not be a member of the EU.

How do we know that product shipped from England to Northern Ireland will only be used in Northern Ireland? It seems pretty easy to ship products from England to Northern Ireland, then change hands in Northern Ireland (so it is used in Northern Ireland), and then ship the product to the rest of the EU. If people says "yes, but we can control that products were coming from England at the first place", it means that we need custom control between Northern Ireland and the rest of the EU. So it would have been better to have a hard Brexit in this case.
It seems like this protocol opens a back door for British products to enter to the common market, and the way around assuming British regulations are stricter than EU regulations.

Honestly, it seems like the old deal was arguably better for the EU.
