“The supply of veterinary, and for that matter other, medicines from the rest of our country should not be something held up by the EU as some sort of temporary concession. If our colonial overloads expect us to be grateful they have another thing coming.
“In fact, today’s news underscores the problem with the Protocol. Decisions about the supply chain into Northern Ireland are being made not in Belfast or London but in Brussels by people we do not elect and over whom we have no control.
“This is an intolerable situation which cuts to the very heart of the Union. This part of the U.K. is effectively being governed as a colony of the EU. No Unionist could tolerate such a situation.”
