The DUP have published a document about the NIP, so let's have a dip in, shall we?
mydup.com/news/time-to-r…
1/
The document is mostly a list of problems, starting off with this one
2/
The mention of 'the courts' should remind us that none of the legal challenges have found the Protocol in contravention of UK laws, most recently in the Court of Appeal

3/
Next up, economic costs
A big pile of money is mentioned, with a footnote
4/
The Ulster references don't lead to anything public, but the Strathclyde piece does make clear that costs are relative to no Brexit, which is possibly not quite what the DUP is aiming for

On the lack of cross-community consent, I leave you to complete the logical extension of the sentiment
6/
Some sympathy for this one, although treaty-making is still reserved to London and DUP did campaign for Leave in #EURef and upholds GFA
Maybe there's an answer further on
7/
As for this one, I guess DUP has taken a consistent stance on this, for all other rights
8/
Eeek
(and yes, not all the processes are in place)
9/
So solutions then, for all these obvious problems
There is a solution, right?
10/
Oh
11/
In sum: an encapsulation of the issues, as seen by the DUP, and the lack of evident alternative
