it doesn't mean that the dup will buy it.se we have someone who knows about that stuff incredibly well, because she used to be the leader of the party. and was first minister of northern ireland. it's dame arlene foster. hello. although you will always be arlene phillips to me, because of that time i stood next to you and a woman ran up and said, it's arlene phillips! i was, like, hmm. i feel sorry for arlene phillips. because the amount of time she's been called arlene foster, and i've been called arlene phillips, it must be awful for somebody not involved in politics to be called that. so, next week, we are planning to do a little brexitcast reunion, our old podcast. but the issue is, we can't say anything about the negotiations that are going on just now, because the uk and the eu are having quite secret talks about tweaking... in the tunnel. in the tunnel, or is it even a tunnel because they even dispute that and can't agree on that. about what changes you could have to the northern ireland protocol, the bit of the brexit

well, of course i'm not a member of the dup any more, but i entirely accept what you're asking me.n on it with an authority that plenty of us can't. yeah, that's fair enough. but i think what is important to say is the data sharing piece was something that the eu had been asking for right from the get go, because they were saying, "well, we can't make an assessment on diversion of trade when we don't know what the data says." so the uk government, that's actually a concession from the uk government to give the data sharing information, because it's sovereign data. they're giving that data to the eu and saying, "here's the data." so, actually, that was a bit of mood music forthe eu, then, to make a move and say, "ok, you've given us this, there's good faith, they're bona fides, let's move to deal with the northern ireland protocol in an effective way." i haven't seen any change to the eu mandate as yet, unless i've missed it. but if that is the case, then they haven't got the mandate to make the changes that are necessary to the northern ireland protocol in order for the northern ir

there hasn't been a fully functioning government at stormont for almost a year since the dup pulled itshe protocol. 0ur ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. the wait goes on in the corridors of power—sharing, but the moment a government is restored still feels some way off. today, the uk's foreign secretary became acquainted with the thorny nature of doing politics in northern ireland. as the leaders arrived for talks in belfast, sinn fein announced they were pulling out — as the dublin—based leader of the all—ireland party, it said, was being excluded. i travelled for that meeting and in an unprecedented way, the british government chose to seek to exclude the leader of sinn fein from a leaders' meeting. the whole thing is absolutely bizarre. the government said the leader of sinn fein at stormont, michelle 0'neill, was invited. it's understood it's not protocol for the foreign secretary to meet the opposition leader of the irish parliament before meeting his irish counterpart. the dup, who are blocking a return to power sharing, emphasised their opposition to checks on goods comi

so you don't think that the dup are being intransigent about this?hat they've been kind of forced into a position where they they simply can't the executive under the circumstances of the protocol . circumstances of the protocol. well look i'm and the truth is they are intransigent but they don't really have choice that the electorate are very clear about. the unionist section of the electorate are very clear about and they know that it's a duty or the duty of sort of a mark steyn on this issue, really their will not because they've been both because they will be further punished for being weak in the face this challenge. so they have to do it they have to be in transition. and it doesn't matter how much money you of the mlas or how many times you force them to go through another election, if they if they back down on this, they're finished and of course, it's not just about looking weak, is it is the principle here. i mean, unionists appear to be utterly unhed unionists appear to be utterly united their opposition united in their opposition to the i
