What kind of future did Sir James Craig & other #Unionist leaders envisage for the people of #NorthernIreland? As I walked the ground of my old homestead #Rathcoole I was shocked to see how the perfect storm of deprivation, disaffection & despair has broken over the estate 1/10 
Sir Basil Brooke, one of Craig’s successors, believed his government should build “homes fit for heroes” after the Second World War. Built in the 1950s, Rathcoole was to be a model village for his brand of Unionism’s vision of a “peaceful & prosperous Ulster” 2/10
Once an estate where Protestants & Catholics lived side-by-side, neighbours turned on neighbours in the 1970s, leading to the Rathcoole Defence Association intimidating many Catholics out of their homes. Tit-for-tat intimidation soon spread like wildfire across Belfast & NI 3/10

I honestly don't understand the "solution" to the #NorthernIreland issue which was caused by the #BrexitDisaster that #RishiSunak seems so excited about.
A short 🧵. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Apparently the solution is something called the #NorthernIrelandProtocol

Apparently, according to this protocol, there will be a "border at sea." Goods coming from England to Northern Ireland will be marked as those terminating in Northern Ireland or those going on to Ireland (EU checks.)
I don't understand how this will solve the problem. (2/8)
I don't understand how this will solve the problem. (2/8)
The whole point of the UK coming out of the EU was the implication that the UK will not benefit from the European market rules. That means, for example that French cheese is cheaper for European countries than it is for England.

NEW: The European Commission’s @MarosSefcovic has put member states on alert for a possible deal on the #NorthernIreland Protocol at short notice – according to #EU diplomats.

The #NorthernIreland Protocol. Is a deal done? From what I hear, not quite. In a way that’s obvious because an agreement isn’t sealed until both sides sign on the dotted line. But diplomats in Brussels agree that a compromise plan isn’t quite there, yet...🧵
The political tour that Rishi Sunak & his ministers are going on may be read as the kind of end-game choreography you’d expect to see before an inevitable announcement. But there's an alternative reading...
Could the PM use today’s talks with parties in Northern Ireland, particularly the DUP, to try & then press the EU for final concessions. 'You need to give me this' etc. It would be a bold play at this stage, when multiple sources say an announcement next week is within reach...
This progress is positive. The killer will most likely be known to Natalie, yes. BUT police saying he is not a risk to other women is utter nonsense. He murdered a woman who was pregnant. Of course he is a risk to other women 🚩 EVERY woman knows this. I really wish
Men would stop saying ridiculous things like this & focus on what’s important. Appeal to those who know this man. Someone knows him. Listen to the Community intell. I’m hearing that a former partner was stalking Natalie. Do the house-to house, speak to those who knew Natalie &
those whom she confided in. Speak with her family, friends, check social media etc. There’s lots to do in the star burst of a murder. This man is a public protection risk 🚩 Any man who murders a woman is. Help find him. Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack?
Can you help find Natalie McNally’s killer? Natalie was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. She was stabbed to death in her home in Lurgan Northern Ireland on Sunday 18 December. This man carrying a rucksack arrived at Silverwood Green near Natalie’s home at 852pm.
He was seen leaving Silverwood Green at 930pm. @PoliceServiceNI are appealing for phone/video footage, CCTV, car dash-cam footage, photos, any information that can help find him. Also, there’s a golf course close to Natalie’s house which leads to the M1 Motorway.
Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack around this time? Do you recognize his gait in the video? Or maybe you know someone locally who was acting strangely after Natalie’s murder. You can upload info anonymously here mipp.police.uk/operation/PSNI… or

NEW: #EU’s chief #Brexit negotiator has urged the new #UK Prime Minister to ”engage” with talks on the #NorthernIreland Protocol.
@MarosSefcovic says this call has been made "for over a year."
"And it still stands – also vis-à-vis the incoming UK Prime Minister & government.”

The European Commission Vice President was speaking at the British-Irish Association Conference in Oxford.
He repeated the EU’s criticism of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, describing it as a “clear breach of international law” that is “extremely damaging to mutual trust.”

He also warned against further unilateral action – likely hinting at reports that frontrunner, Liz Truss, could trigger #Article16.
Such action may, he said, “Give the impression to many in the EU that the UK leadership is not that interested in cooperation with the EU.”

@trussliz @MarosSefcovic @ManufacturingNI @FT Since July the number of @ManufacturingNI members "struggling" with the protocol has dropped below 25pc...compared to more than 40pc in July. It's moving in the right direction, it seems./2
@trussliz @MarosSefcovic @ManufacturingNI @FT The survey, to be published Friday, also shows EU suppliers are getting easier (last year it seemed that many hadn't got full message that Northern Ireland is part of EU single market for goods) and trade with GB has also picked up/3
In todays @FT there’s an op-ed from @DavidGHFrost outlining the state of play in the talks around the #NorthernIreland Protocol & contrary to a lot of reports (that mostly treat 🇪🇺 pronouncements as gospel while ignoring 🇬🇧 ones) there’s been little change

In essence the #NorthernIreland Protocol is unfinished (it was always a dynamic document) & 🇬🇧 is seeking to bring it to where it was envisioned to be, as outlined here by @LeoVaradkar in January 2020, as well as excise the bits obviated in the TCA
Alas 🇪🇺 still seems to have very little interest in living up to their responsibilities & honouring what they signed
Unfortunately for them 🇬🇧 sovereignty is absolute & Brussels’ authority runs out at The Border
They may have to learn that the hard way
