This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)
> Rishi Sunak has sealed a deal with the EU to end the dispute over the post-Brexit Northern Ireland protocol, a senior government source has said.
> At the heart of the revised pact are three main issues: physical controls and checks on trade to Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK, the role of the European court of justice and the application of EU law and the place of Northern Ireland in the UK's internal market.
> This is based on a proposal around Norway's relationship with the EU made by the former Northern Ireland secretary Peter Hain and may enable the EU to disapply new laws in Northern Ireland if objected by Stormont representatives.

Can't wait for the thugs (paramilitaries, but really just thugs) to start taking matters in their own hands and England (or Ireland) not giving a toss again

A man's whose major accomplishment in life was marrying a billionaire heiress to INFOSYS. If he hadn't done that, he'd be a nobody in investment banking.

"A new “Stormont brake”, a surprise measure in Monday’s package, means the Northern Ireland assembly can oppose new EU goods rules that would have significant and lasting effects on everyday lives in Northern Ireland"
Does this mean the EU has to ask the NI assembly for permission to pass EU goods rules (because in theory, any EU goods rules apply... well, EU wide...) ?

So the tories finally agreed to implement the protocol they signed into law now what, five or six years ago?
What, do they want a fucking round of applause for it?

Holy hell, after only 2,440 days, they finally found out part of what they were voting for (or against) in that referendum. Well done.
