Imagine people in Britain were told Brexit would not happen because only a narrow majority had voted for it? That the issue was so divisive it required a supermajority of 60 percent before it passed?

Watch this online Irish Border Poll discussion with speakers Kevin Meagher, Ben Collins and Brian Feeney recorded on Thursday 2nd March. How should we view the new UK-EU Protocol deal?

So, there we have it: the Windsor Framework. The oldest trick in the book is to rebrand a problem. It might still be the Northern Ireland Protocol (Reformed Version), but it now bears the Monarch’s secular name. It’s hardly subtle.
