Some of the comments on here defy belief. Brexit-Cuckoo land indeed.
Johnson signed a deal he plainly had no intention of sticking to: most would agree it was a very bad one. But it was probably only way to avoid leaving the EU with no deal at all.
Sensible people on both sides now seek to arrive at a solution. While you can certainly argue that the EU has been over-bureaucratic, it’s understandable that they would expect something both sides signed up to to be largely followed.
It makes me laugh that the DUP paint themselves as defenders of the Belfast agreement when for a long time they opposed any agreement tooth and nail. And continue to disrupt the institutions of that agreement when it suits them.
Still, I’m sure Jeffrey Donaldson is enjoying his trips to London ;-)

// Amongst them are the DUP, who support Brexit apparently in theory but no practical implementation of it. //
What appeared to be an intractable problem under BJ, Sunak has come to the fore. There had to be the political will on both sides. So credit to von der Leyen and Sunak for agreeing on a workable solution.
However, our PM is not out of the woods yet.
More specifically, Sunak's biggest obstacle will be to convince the DUP that one of their red lines, namely, 'Article 6 of the Union with Ireland Act 1800' has been upheld.
