Not fit for office, the country requires better than this.
It's fairly clear the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP) was negotiated in bad faith by the government and any old deal was quickly waved through so that Brexit could be seen to be done.
Problem is now despite the sausages etc Northern Ireland seems do be doing ok as they remain part of EU in terms of trade and this is not a good look for the government and so it can't let it continue this is why they are screaming that the NIP they signed up to is terrible and they want start all over again. They are doing this because they need to keep conflict with the EU so they have some one to blame as Brexit continues to screw over the economy.
This week I believe the EU decided to call the governments bluff by offering to drop some of the checks on foodstuffs and as expected these were dismissed as not enough.
The EU could offer the government 90%+ of what they have previously been asking for but the government would dismiss this as not enough as they need the conflict to continue.
As I said, a bad faith government, not fit for office
