The entire political establishment was fixated on the idea of a 'Deal'.
Whereas everybody else knew Brexit meant a clean break.
Nonsense- Brexit was never defined- hence the problems we have now. X
Cameron,his television broadcast along with his pro Brexit propaganda leaflet clearly stated that if we leave the EU , leave means leave . No half in half out . No single market . Etc etc . Low and behold as soon as the vote goes against them , the rules change . We need a deal . Corrupt lying politicians.
@@thediscokidd it was defined as leaving, not redefining the deal and telling the electorate it's the same thing.
@@thediscokidd Brexit meant leaving the EU, which was why remoaner MPs wanted a deal
Government went for a deal after analysis of the figures
They knew a clean break was the easiest option but the cost to the economy was huge
Down with the appeasement of the Eu.
Both EU AND USA ARE COLLASPING BY NEXT YEAR 2023 CIVIL WAR IN MOST COUNTRIES ESPECIALLY USA that is not what USA used to be..
😂😂😂
How about Antrim?
@@stephenconway2468 People in NI all over will not let the British government destroy there economy, like England. Support for the protocol is strong on both sides. And they made that very clear to the British government.
@@roseanne9986 I was playing with words. NI has made it clear in the last election that it is okay with the NI Protocol. Certainly, it can be adjusted and improved, but a hard border is not what NI wants. The DUP are in trouble as they have bet on the wrong side. SF are doing well just by staying quiet. Alliance is doing best, because they are not on any side except sanity.
I like Ben Habib. Listened to him many of times and he always talks Sense. 👍✊
One example please where this fool has ever spoken sense ???
Oh bless.....he is a liar and is still lying to all you brexitards 😂😂
Lol.
@@trevaudio He's fighting for the people of NI, I don't see Sinn Fein, taking them to court over the protocol.
More legal BS from BH, as the UK Supteme Court will soon confirm.
Ben. Your doing a fantastic job. Reform has got my vote
The issue is unnecessarily complicated. We're talking about goods and services, there shouldn't even be a hard border.
Brexit created the hard border....
I always knew voting leave would requiring giving up ni. If you didn't I guess you didn't know what you were voting for
@@aaronaaronson7600 nope, the EU did. Their laws and bureaucracy make it intentionally hard for outside nations to trade normally. Combine that with the Good Friday agreement and you have a problem. I agree though that the UK government and EU should have addressed this long before negotiations were made.
@@cun7us of course you would say that, you want to destroy the good Friday agreement and return to the old days. Face it, you've destroyed everything.
@@onmytravells9429 nobody knew what they were voting for
Why are we still paying our divorce bill to Brussels if we can't get out
Very astute man Mr Habib.
Westminster has thrown the people of Northern Ireland under the bus. Shameful.
Westminster have caused legal actions then regards NI and Scotland against their stance on what they think the UK should be. NI, Wales and Scotland all refused to sign off on the final Brexit agreement. Its kinda like England just doesnt understand where its rightful place is. i.e. alone in its thinking.
You mean unionists . They are less than half of the people there not THE PEOPLE . Act of union is ending anyway get used to it or slan
What people - the minority foreign British Unionists??? Too bad about the troublemakers!
Ben is absolutely correct. and he has to push the fact that UK citizens are being subject to EU laws with no representation . This is not about goods and services, it’s about laws and control by a foreign power.
The republic represents the interests of NI. They are Irish sent they?
Ben is incorrect. We signed up to this. It is our representatives that agreed to it. That is democracy. He just doesn't like it. When he voted for Brexit he was warned that NI/EU border would be a huge problem. However, this is the man that hated the GFA from the get-go. Along with the DUP, he never wanted the GFA.
@Ainsley Govan The UK government also signed up to an internationally binding agreement called the withdrawal agreement containing the Ireland and Northern Ireland Protocol
EU single market laws only apply to goods , people can move freely between NI and GB ... funny how you are now concerned that NI has no representation , when EU did want NI to be in negotiations , but England said no ... were you concerned then too ? Also with DUP NI has no representation anyway , those loonies are in Westminster whining and crying like babies . EU and UK has no deal about services at all , it's not part of TCA .
Can you name a single thing in UK that is better now than when UK was member of EU ? Any thing at all , whats better in 2022 than in 2016 ?
@@pete_lind How did 'England' say 'no'? The UK government, the government representing the interests of all four constituent countries of the UK handled Brexit. England is the only country that has no devolved government and the only country in the UK under which the other 3 constituent parts can vote on matters relating only to England, whilst English seat MPs can not do that the other way around.
Spot on,and eloquently put.
Interesting to see no one here is blaming Boris but the EU for the NI protocol he negotiated and was voted for overwhelming by UK, so called get Brexit Done 🤔
This is a pro Tory channel, you won't hear anything from any opposing side that have the facts, the dumb interviewer just nods
If Westminster didn't treat the other UK countries with such contempt, they would want to stay.
But it's all about LONDON. The entire country exists to serve London's interest. London needs a new sewer, everyone must pay their share.
The Torys are doling out cash to the mega rich, everyone must pay their share.
It was supposed to be a 'Union of Equals' but never has been. And you wonder why people have had enough?
It's a good job it's London, that's what keep's all 4 nations mate,
Actually London gives millions to the rest of us. I live in Wales but I know we get millions of funding every year but drakford does what he wants with it not what he's supposed to do with it.
Londonstan is falling though,like all the cities that allowed a foreign invasion after the war.Say bye we are done,look after ya families as the violence towards us will be like South Africa
The opposite is true.
'London'... ie the Westminster government, does nothing but appease and bribe and subsidise the 'other UK countries'.
Personally , I woud declare English Independence, and let them stand on their own two feet.
@@sillygoose9070 If that were true, why then wouldn't they want them to split from the UK when england would be better off? I agree let england have an independence vote, that way we'll get shot of westminster one way or the other.
Protect and preserve our nationality, broken oath.
The beginning of the end for Britain was the Suez Canal fiasco of 1956.. we've been in slow decline ever since. This is just the end of beginning of the end, now we witnessing the beginning of the middle of the end.
Suez 1956, Brexit 2016 Scotland leaving in 2076? Ireland will unite way sooner

Mr.Habib talks so much sense, always refreshing
A lot of our products are produced in NORTHERN Ireland but are packaged in Republic of Ireland. EU.. Then have nerve to charge us more.
How are they able to do this, though, given that we hold all the cards?
@@maxwild1212 Because people like Ben Habib voted for it ;-)
@@strategon28 Did Ben vote for the protocol and EU laws to be put into law
@@indogoUI He voted for the "oven.ready deal" NIP was an integral part of it, and Ben knew it, or if he didn't, he did'nt read it before voting.
@@strategon28 Imagine voting for EU laws to be applied in Northern Ireland and then come on tv shows protesting it😂😂
So he's blaming everyone else and takeing no responsibility for the mess of Brexit.
It's certainly unlawful! js
The simple answer is for all goods etc...to be flown out of Cork or by sea to France, so not to affect the NI Boarder at all!
@Ainsley Govan So a lorry from Scotland would go to where? Plymouth? then to cork and then to Belfast etc? Unrealistic for fresh goods.
Hahaha from Dublin Ireland 32🇮🇪🇪🇺
Nice to see Ben Habib is back from living in Pakistan.
He can keep on saying that he thinks NI Protocol should be illegal, but it isn't. NI was always treated differently than the rest of the UK. Plus, the concept of devolution basically means the various parts of the UK will always be different in some ways.
His attempts to prove otherwise have failed because he does not understand. He was warned that Brexit would cause stresses on NI. He was well aware the Scotland would hate to be pushed out of the EU. He should have known better and trying to assume some illegality clause would save him is frankly stupid. Expert lawyers knew how this would work out.
A united ireland would solve the whole problem

This man doesn’t recognise that Ireland is Irish.
its time for scotland to leave this useless broken finished union.
47 MP’s and Lords had an Irish passport in 2016.
It’s around 321 in 2022.
Now why do we think that is?
Brexit was the dumbest thing a nation ever inflicted upon itself.
Prior to the EU getting so political over 80% of all exports from southern Ireland was to the UK with virtually no border checks on it whatsoever, even after they went on to the EURO! Since the UK voted to leave the EU that has dropped considerably due only to this stupid protocol! As now they are having to be double checked if they are for onwards transit to the rest of the EU!
Boris negotiated and presented the " Oven Read Deal" firstly to the Tory Party, the House of Parliament, the House of Commons, the Queen and then the Electorate, it was voted on and accepted, so millions had the opportunity to read the small print before signing up to it, so how did the EU manage to alter the wording of the contract so drastically, we can't pretend it changed from being and I quote Boris own words here, "A Great Deal and I commend it to the House" to now a stitch up by the EU. We asked for, negotiated and signed up to "Brexit" it's ours and we own it.
John. Irish exports to the UK is 9% of total Irish exports. It hasn't been 80% since the 1970s. Ireland sells more to the USA, Germany & Belguim than to the UK. Our biggest exports are to the EU bloc at 45%. The UK sell more to Ireland than to Brazil, Russia, India & China combined - your 5th largest customer & one that gives the UK a £16 billion surplus...until Brexit where that is now being eroded as Ireland seeks EU suppliers to replace UK ones.
@@loulou2817 Take care what you wish for! Over 40% of Irish exports to UK are agricultural (meat, dairy etc). Irish farmers are already struggling to work out how they will achieve the 25% emissions cut they recently agreed to! It would greatly increase the damage to the Irish farming sector at this delicate time if their trade with UK dropped in any way! The EU is not as 'passionate' about Irish farm products as the UK!
@@mick1406 Agri & Dairy account for 4% of total Irish exports, of which 47% of this 4% are exported to the UK. Since 2016, Ireland has TA with Saudi & China to mitigate any lost sales plus has the added bonus of replacing UK farmers in the EU.
Ireland is the 5th largest bovine producer globally & there will be an impact on exports to the UK but less than 2% of total exports are at risk & other markets are replacing the UK going forward.
Our biggest industry in pharma at 30% of exports (3rd biggest producer globally) - while Irish farmers are important to the economy, they are no longer the main stay.
@@loulou2817 And post Brexit, the UK is able to trade with nations outside the EU, which has been a declining market for the UK fir years ... As I said previously 40% + of Irish exports - to the UK - are agricultural! FACT Can't imagine for 1 second your Irish farmers would like to lose any of that to New Zealand or Australian competitors. Your farmers are also about to be hit by the 25% emissions reductions - how is it going to happen without considerable upheaval? We all know that Irish economic output figures are, shall we say, 'unusual' LOL (!) due to Ireland's total over reliance on FDA from, largely, a handful of mega American tech firms. This means a few large transactions totally screw up your figures! So I'm unsure what point you hope to make? Ireland will always need to trade with the UK, it will continue to use us as a land bridge to Europe, you'll always need UK gas and energy supplies and, to Ireland's loss and shame, you will always continue to export to us, in large amounts, your most valuable assest - your people - because the UK continues to offer them better life chances and, still in many parts of UK, affordable homes! Ireland cannot match that in reality. So, as mentioned, take care what you wish for as the UK has been a good friend to Ireland over many years.
Great stream, as always.< I appreciate the level-headed approach you take to the news and the markets. .

Good Friday agreement was smoke and mirrors. Lots of money made from it.
Agreed. The troubles are almost non-existent now, it's all about money and power.
With Blair’s fingerprints in it as well.
When will Habib learn that the territory of Ireland belongs to the Irish. Not the British.
And yet there is Habib - the voter for the WA and the NIP when he was an MEP - what hypocrisy!
I like this guy Habib - talks a lot of sense - it sickens me as well!
Irish unity now!
Its not the beginning of the end, that started a few decades ago, we are near the end of the end
Northern Ireland's citizens should approve their own laws, be the rules nominated by the EU or UK.
N Ireland should not be in the EU or under the EU court or under EU laws.
This is a UK wide law, all UK politicians got to vote on it
@@indogoUI some laws go beyond the MPs mandate.
UK should end the forced laws of Abortion and SSM that they imposed on Northern Ireland.
@@elizabethmackenzie5730 It should be as this guy just said both communities need to agree on the protocol before it can be put in place as it's illegal WELL BOTH COMMUNITIES need to agree on leaving the EU otherwise that will be illegal too! You'll need the nationalists to agree on leaving which just isn't going to happen so his argument on what is legal or illegal is crap and won't work.
Re: Another Remainer...
Someone should tell the silly host that Biden’s America is nothing short of a train wreck.
Northern Ireland is doing very well economically this is why this brexiteer and others have a big problem with the protacol as it shows up the madness of brexit

Why does a guy from Pakistan have interest in Northern Ireland?
Whrn is this guy going to realise that his country is an occupying force iny country.GET OUT
We don’t want you anywhere near us , it’s all been lies, you guys knew this was going to happen. You never cared about what happened here.
Ben Habib himself voted for the "oven-ready deal," including the Northern Ireland protocol. So why is he getting upset?
Who is this guy or who let him out.DUP seeking seats in UK. Did you ever hear such rubbish ?
Indeed Brexit vote showed Scotland and Ireland got fundamental different views from England and BJ's Brexit implemented a border across the Irish sea. Breaking up UK process started...
Appeasement of the EU.. Absolutely SPOT ON!!! Just excuse after excuse. Been a lot of talk of triggering Article 16, but that is all it is - JUST TALK>
They cocked up brexit so what do you expect.
Ben, surely the Protocol was an integral part of the "Oven Ready," " Cake and Eat it," "Sunny Days from day one" Boris? Frost thrashed out so skilfully and was championed and celebrated with street parties and rallies so passionately by Brexiters. When I made bad choices, my Worldly Wise Nan would tell me, "You made your bed, now lie in it"
Did your Worldly Wise Nan also tell you, ‘stop moaning and get on with it’. If you live in the U.K. you should be angry towards the EU for their continuous antagonism/ punishment against us for daring to leave. If you’re not, then why do you hate the U.K.? We’re all in this together and we have to make the best of a bad job!
@@johnbarrett6889 I voted for Brexit, I don't hate the UK, I am getting on with it, but I accept what Ben can't, our "Betters" struck a bad deal, and yes, we are all in it together but very few of us are flying First Class
The Act of Union of 1801, that united Ireland and Great Britain, was breached when Ireland became independent in 1922. Ben Habib is a hundred years out of touch.
Brexiteers take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions challenge (impossible).
Totally agree with him
Why don't the EU protect their single market on THEIR side of the border? The Protocol is completely illogical!
we didnt consent to brexit.
Nationalism is rising in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The question now is what will stop the break up to the UK?
It won’t be McKrankie.
Well taking a small country and breaking it up into 4 smaller countries makes real sense.
Hopefully nothing will stop it. Especially looking forward to Scotland leaving.

And how would your day to day life be better if Scotland left the uk ?

Bit distracting being able to see Mr Portillo's reflection in the background, reading the autocue.
The problem was the Tories who negotiated the so called protocol were the remainer faction of the party. TMay tried to put it through parliament 3 times and each it suffered a historic defeat. The protocol as it is now breaks the GFA agreement. PM Boris himself said on numerous occasions the NI protocol breaks the GFA agreement
And we know Boris never lies
@@hunsey Boris wasn’t lying. The problem was he didn’t have the bottle to do anything about it, because he’s not a real politician. He’s a entertainer, media personality, a cheerleader, comedian
All the Eu then did was to say we’re not budging from our position, because nobody in your parliament take’s u seriously anyway etc etc. A real leader ( Thatcher type) would defend the UK🇬🇧
@@Stand663 The protocol doesn't break the GFA. It can't ,only constitutional reform can break it ,or serious misconduct from one side.
The DUP are abusing the "cross party consent" rule ,to say that the protocol requires both community's to agree to it.
Which is madness ,both sides would then have had to consent to Brexit ,which never would have happened ,trapping the U.K in the EU.
The consent rule applies to reunification.
If Boris said that the protocol breaks the GFA ,he wouldn't have signed the withdrawal agreement ,nor the EU ,Ireland ,or the U.S
Face it ,the warnings about the north were correct ,impossible to solve to unionists satisfaction ,and worsened by Boris rushing through the withdrawal agreement to "Get Brexit /Oven ready deal done" and ensure re-election.
Clean Break = sorted.
Portillo has been really shocking recently. First he supported the coup d'etat whereby the Truss administration was overthrown using the financial system. Now he is conniving at ceding N Ireland to the EU and the South. In both cases without a shot being fired or a vote being cast.
Ben Habib voted for the protocol and for eu law in NI
@@indogoUI no he didn't. Incomprehensible EU would keep part of UK

welcome to the brexit pakistani benny.
the union is dead and gone they were warned its brexit or the union they chose brexit 3 court cases 3 lost cases end off.
Its brexit . The protocol was what the UK asked for and we gave . Brexit is the issue . Unionists are not the boss majority so what about the majority that like the protocol ? They dont count . Brexit subjegated the act of union we will be ending soon anyway so why panic

Independence for England.
Exactly.
,2021 census shows only 34% in N Ireland see themselves as British
@Ainsley Govan 34% British v 39% in 2011. 29% Irish v 20% in 2011. Being British down 5% & being Irish up 9%. Demographics are changing with school children in nationalist areas exceeding those in Unionist so the gap is only going to increase.
@Ainsley Govan If you can't understand that change is happening & unless the minority start working with everyone else, they'll be left behind living with dreams of a long gone protestant state for protestant people.
@Ainsley Govan none of what you wrote negates the main point.
The changing demographics a favouring a united ireland ,and the Irish can't be cheated out of their country this time.
@Ainsley Govan Lol ,you shot yourself in the foot in your own comment.
29% of people seeing themselves as Irish ,doesn't mean that an extra 22% of the north won't vote for a united ireland now does it?
@Ainsley Govan Lol ,no ,that's a silly as saying all Catholics would vote for it.
It not orange or green that will decide, and love to break it to ya ,the "others" are on our side :D
Calling The UK An Emerging-Market Is No Longer A Joke
The UK’s progression toward emerging-market status is moving so fast
If what he is saying that any kind of change no matter how big or small needs to be passed though by discussion between Nationalists and Unionists and both need to agree on it regardless of what the UK and the EU put into place then seeing as NI had a majority 56% voting to remain within the EU I take it both communities need to agree if we are either in or out of the EU and which we will remain within the EU until both communities accept or agree on leaving it. until then leaving it is illegal just like he said.
It’s got nothing to do with Brexit, it would have happened anyway
Unfortunately that’s been happening for a long time and the root causes of that are
The Catastrophe of 1914 😢
Then mismanaged National Decline from Empire in which to many elites have tried to keep onto power and importance
We have been living if the fumes of 1939-45 for far to long.
Add that we have been living beyond our mean for more decades than we think and mass immigration legal and illegal (mostly down to greed at the top for failing to educate and train home talent to make things or produce nurses and doctors etc)
I truly believe we are headed towards a political and economic crisis that has long been predicted
And if the dollar loses its reserve status which is on the cards then it’s goodbye anyway
WHY ARE YOU WEARING A POPPY ?? We used to wear them only on 5the NOVEMBER - you are ONE MONTH EARLY !!!!
This idea of a hard border between NI and ROI to protect the common market is complete BS. Switzerland is not an EU member and is surrounded by EU countries but does not have a hard border with any of them.

Another westminster politician taking up the mantle of Northern Ireland to further his career is neither helpful or productive. We have had enough over here, I'm tired of it and worn down by the hatred, he should leave well alone and stop fueling the fire. This is not a political border its an economic border to imports and exports... Believe me... They want this... They're bored and want to prevent unity... I have no feelings about it now.. I'm too old and tired... But they want a reason to start this up again and people like him are igniting the touch paper.
Fun fact: He voted himself for Johnson's oven-ready deal, INCLUDING the Northern Ireland protocol. What a buffon.
@@strategon28 Agreed and the narrative being peddled by these charlatans is that Northern Irelands position within the UK is under threat which is not the case because under the terms 9f the Good Friday Agreement of which the Irish and British Governments are co guarantors the Constitutional position of Northern Ireland as part of the UK is guaranteed until the Secretary of State deems that the conditions are right for to proceed with a border poll .The Protocol being part of the TCA is a compromise in order to protect thd EU single Market and to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland
It’s quite astounding after so many years this debate continues….. IT IS NOT the responsibility for the UK to protect another countries boarders …. IF the Republic of Ireland wish to protect their boarders which is their SM THEN it’s between the EU and Ireland ….. THATS IT … THE UK HAS LEFT THE EU ……. LEFT …… stop this utter nonsense…..The EU will never build a hard boarder … if that’s what they will do then they will have to man it … ?
1: It is a British border ,put there after 82% of Ireland voted to leave the U.K .
The 18% that lost , "immigrants" that ye flooded the north of our country with ,turned to terrorism in opposition to this vote .
Britain threatened Ireland with "invasion and terrible war" in opposition to our vote.
Ireland's border is the beach. That is ,if you are a democratic person
2: You guys banged on about controlling your borders for ages ,and now that you've got what you wanted, you insist others have all the responsibility for one?
You have no leg to stand on ,but hey ,thanks for all your help towards a United Ireland! :D
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 my god, so many wish to live in the past, the new young generation flooded with hatred history .. get a bloody life, one life is all we have … my father fought in the Second World War… Do I hold a grudge against the Germans ?? Ffs change the bloody record …. NI is part of the UK weather you like it or not, any goods leaving GB into NI is part of the UK, you be telling me next that Berlin should have more say over London … get a bloody life…
I get that United Kingdom doesn't want to set off the terrorism thing again by provoking any residual hard liners by enforcing a border with Republic of Ireland. However, if the Republic of Ireland is not party to any agreement or understanding the United Kingdom made or has with the various militant groups and hard liners who had been committing terrorism in the United Kingdom with respect to not having a hard border with the Republic of Ireland, then why can't the Republic of Ireland just enforce by itself its own border with the nonEuropean country whose borders it recognized in 1998? If the Republic of Irelandians don't have enough trained border police for the task at hand, why not just invite a deployment of trained border policemen from third countries through the United Nations peacekeeping program to bivouac just south of the border and deploy to enforce it and to train their Republic of Irelandian replacements?
You: "I understand why the UK doesn't want to risk terrorism by policing a hard border ,but why can't Ireland risk terrorism by policing a hard border...."
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 Fair enough - maybe it should just be internationalized. Alternatively, the Americans seem in constant want of a good forever war. Why not palm the problem off on them?
@@williaminnes6635
1: It is a British border ,illegally annexing a part of Ireland
2: The U.K's decision to leave the EU (without planning or listening to warnings) caused the whole backstop /protocol issue.
3: Everyone except the unionists are happy with the protocol
So why palm off a British created ,British compounded problem?
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 If the problem the terrorists would have would be that it would be a United Kingdomian border, then making it a Republic of Irelandian border would resolve the problem. Naturally, the collapse of Europe also resolves the problem, though that would also destroy around half the GDP of ROI.
@@williaminnes6635
The problem is, that the people who police that border's security ,would face the inevitable outcome of attacks, which might spark the tit for tat whirlwind that took 30 years to stop the last time.
The flag on the uniform is irrelevant ,as loyalists paramilitary's were the ones who are promising attacks ,and already have intimidated customs officials.
I fail to see how the EU will collapse ,and I generally don't believe those who say it will ,as I've heard that argument for three decades now ,vs the evidence of three decades of the EU being stable.
Unwittingly, you guys keep conceding ye are in a terrible state after Brexit ,
You won ,but you are hoping the EU will collapse.
Winners enjoy their success ,they don't pray for their vanquished opponent to collapse.
Only pyrrhic victors resort to such methods of consolation.
Sorry mate ,you won ,get over it.
Another guest who has difficulty with the truth
In what way
@@vincentmckenna1755 He voted himself for the "oven-ready deal" , including the Northern Ireland protocol ... what a buffoon.
I would have Ben Habib speaking for me and defending our rights then the whole if Westminster..
When are you going to make a comeback into frontline politics Ben, you are needed to keep the pressure on those corrupt specimens who are in control at the moment!
