You're complaining about an agreement you voted for, while proving that you don't understand it.

Redwood's misunderstanding is twofold. 1) the test in Article 16 is that application of the protocol has led to trade diversion; "the EU has trashed the Agreement by diverting trade" is gibberish. 2) "disproportionate action on the GB/NI border" is not an Article 16 issue.
In both cases, Redwood frames the issue as blaming the EU, whereas the test in Article 16 in fact refers to application of the protocol - ie the treaty text that both parties ratified, and that Redwood voted for.
The irony is that the test Redwood made up in his head might in some ways be harder to satisfy than the test which the actual Article 16 sets out. To the extent he has thought about it at all, this may be because he prefers to frame the issue as blaming the EU...>
...rather than accept a scintilla of consequences for his own actions.
