For too long, this issue was ignored or dismissed by too many, with hopes of ‘alternative arrangements’ solving the problem. Theresa May went for alignment (at least on a temporary basis) & lost her job. Johnson went for GB to NI checks. But now appears to be reneging on that. — PolitiTweet.org

In the end, the UK has to choose - continued alignment with the EU (when we don’t have a say on the rules) OR checks on goods from GB to NI or checks on trade between NI and RoI. None of those options are great but this is an inescapable consequence of Brexit. — PolitiTweet.org

So if it’s not alignment & it’s not GB to NI checks, that leaves checks on NI/RoI trade. In the eyes of the EU & the US (not to mention UK law enforcement and security agencies) this would undermine the NI peace process. Getting FTAs with either the EU or US would be impossible. — PolitiTweet.org
