Theresa May going full ahead with Boris Johnson it seems.

Party over country, she will never ever put anything above the Conservatives.

If this deal passes today, will Ireland after the transition period, be able to export/import via the UK land bridge?

I think she's probably one of the worse Tories there.

I was talking about her diction and clarity.

Oh look Sammy backing the Good Friday Agreement.

Yes, but we've no idea if there will be tariffs post December-2020

Some analysts suspect Johnson might be planning No Deal for 2021

Sammy Wilson again

God he's a deplorable MP who and his loyalist ilk deserve every pain they get from this deal.

They voted for Brexit they're getting their just deserts

I still believe there's still some hope of a 2nd referendum on Brexit but if this deal does go ahead It will fill me with joy seeing the DUP getting what they deserve. It will be a thing of beauty.

Ken is always on the money. He's not happy with this deal, that's for sure!

Is that a bible in Sammy's hand?

Itssoeasy

The DUP and conservatives love affair is certainly over.

There will be a transition period if a deal is passed where nothing much changes

Itssoeasy

A minority party ? Sinn Fein aren’t a minority party in NI in fairness.

Tell me how

A Tony Connelly tweet this morning contained the words 'How the DUP were ditched'.

Very strong words for someone who influences a lot of opinions on what has gone on in Brexit.

Sammy says this deal will lead to a United Ireland

Heart attack imminent.

Tell me how

DUP still not declaring their position on the Letwyn amendment.

Are they suggesting they are waiting to be convinced (bribed) by Johnson?

Itssoeasy

That sounded like the DUP are considering voting for the Oliver Letwin amendment. Or at least Sammy Wilson didn't rule it out.

Brexit will : I suspect it's already game over for NI

All these tory mps who insist "the people" will be furious at brexit being delayed again, why dont they just step outside the house for a second and ask any of the 100s of thousands gathered what they think?

Sammy making about the most sense I've ever heard him make there - saying the deal is a big step closer to a United Ireland.

What maybe hasn't dawned on him yet is what a major role he and his party have had in making this happen.

The biggest irony of all this for me is that it is during a period in which NI unionists have had the biggest influence ever in the workings of the UK government that a United Ireland has taken its biggest step to becoming a reality.

Sammy might get an opportunity to share his views from within the Dail chamber some day if he's lucky.

Whatever you say about Sammy, he's not wrong about what he said there. This is a nightmare for Unionists.

Agree 100%. Sammy Wilson is unbearable to listen to, absolutely unbearable. Hypocrisy and horribly inflated ego prominent in every syllable he utters.

I would have the tiniest amount of respect for the DUP if they held their hands up and admitted that campaigning for Brexit was a mistake. Will never ever happen, they have no humility whatsoever. I can’t respect people like that.

There is now no denying the fact that the current UK government cares not a jot about maintaining the union with them in it, they do indeed deserve to have that humiliating fact made clear as day now.

'The deal' isn't necessarily the problem - the last two years or so have been disastrous for NI unionism....it's evident the English Brexiteers don't care a jot about them
