I have decided that if the DUP’s leadership were a person it would be a ward of court, or locked up for its own safety.
The inane faith it shows in the Conservative government is all the evidence that a judge would need to find that it is incapable of looking after its own affairs.
The Tories have stabbed the DUP in the back more times than I can remember.
Now the DUP s faithfully waiting for the Prime Minister and Lord Frost to invoke Article 16, when it thinks all its problems will be over, again.
The fact that the majority of Northern Irish people like the protocol and that it is working for the NI economy, is neither here nor there. The DUP must kill the NIP or rather since the Tories have an 80 seat majority and no longer need its votes, it must trust the PM to kill the NIP.
A PM who doesn’t know or care what he signed and who gives not a jot for Northern Ireland or the DUP. He may well tear up the NIP for his own pathetic reasons but it will be nothing to do with the DUP.
And who will be left with the mess? Who will be thrown to the wolves?
Again.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
