Comment by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“The DUP’s characterisation, via Gavin Robinson, of Monday’s talks and their Protocol talks with HMG as ‘a parallel process’ is concerning and wrongheaded.
“The restoration of U.K. sovereignty over Northern Ireland and thus the end of the application of EU law and its Irish Sea border, must take primacy over what might happen financially thereafter. To create and talk about a parallel process is to invite trade off on the vital constitutional issues ‘if the price is right’!
“No financial bung can restore our constitutional position and the restoration of Art 6 of the Acts of Union. Nor, must such coerce or cajole unionists out of standing firm on what matters most.”
