- Sir Jeffrey Donaldson will succeed Edwin Poots as DUP leader. Can he fix Northern Ireland’s Brexit-related problems? Please subscribe HERE bit.ly/1rbfUog
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's insisted the so-called Northern Ireland protocol, which allows Belfast a special place within both the EU and UK trading systems, will not continue in the current form - if at all.
Donaldson has also demanded to see action before he signs up a new power sharing arrangement with Sinn Fein.
On the hundredth anniversary of the opening of the Northern Ireland parliament, no-one can afford to see political stalemate.
So what happens now?
Newsnight’s political editor Nick Watt reports. Emily Maitlis is joined by DUP chief whip in Westminster Sammy Wilson, chair of the Northern Ireland select committee Simon Hoare and Sinn Féin MP John Finucane.

Why should the EU make any more concessions to the UK? The British government needs to start the process of re registration of products that previously were EU passed, they're either too lazy or can't be arsed to do this. They should have started the process on the 1st January 2021 or perhaps the British government thinks rules don't apply to them. Why can't people understand its down to the British government to solve this problem, the DUP were instrumental in bringing about this particular form of Brexit with the support of May's deal for which they were handsomely paid. To be bitching now is useless and threatening to destabilise NI is like a child stamping their feet in a tantrum.
The current british government is what you get when you put lying sycophants in charge - honestly I don't think any of them are capable of doing anything but crying about getting what they voted for
Handsomely paid indeed, the pays gone the deal was a shady as shyte now the DUP isolated will disentegrate..just a matter of time.
Jan 👍 You make reasonable and valid points in your post. However, with respect: The people of Northern Ireland aren't stomping their feet. It's the minority DUP, who are forever stomping their feet, throwing tantrums and creating controversies where they done exist. The N. Ireland "Protocol" has no bearing on, nor it is a threat to, the N. Ireland position within the UK. The people of N.Ireland--and Scotland-- democratically voted to stay in the EU. That result is completely ignored by the so called, "democratic"? Unionist Party. 😟
Good rule for life. If Sammy Wilson is on your side, you're on the wrong side.
Good reply, and what a beggar this man is, like the rest of the reprobates that shake hands with Sinn Feign murderers, the two of the biggest now gone to that hell they deserved. The D.U.P is all mouth, wind, lies, deception, like every other party

Their hatred of the Irish makes them blind to the things that even benefit them.
The DUP is like a battered spouse who won’t leave their abuser. The UK does not care for NI. Also NI diverts on a plethora of areas of law to that of Eng/Wales, e.g. criminal, land, evidence, environmental, equity, employment etc. So why care for divergence now? What a sad party and followers - one has to feel for them.
Yesterday's men and women.
What they are really doing is trying to get as many concessions as possible, before they head into a minority. Being in a minority is the hardest pill of all to have to swallow.

Its purely a propoganda campaign on social media Bella,....most of the people who comment are not resident and have no eligibility to vote anyway.
Merely trolls,...social media is awash with them....the very reason world governments ignore social media. lol
The majority of both communities in Northern Ireland have no interest in unification.
NI has been their home for over five generations they are fine with it and know the consequences (financial and political), and the chaos and violence it would re-ignite. They are the silent majority... .they just dont shout about it on social media....in fact the majority don't use social media at all...they have better things to do in their lives, with family, work,, finances and social life in the real world to be getting on with.
It's always the minority shout loudest and create the problems.....its always been like that throughout history, the world over.
The silent majority always prevails though.
The DUP does indeed not understand one bit of the protocol. Just as the presenter said, NI has better access to the EU market as part of the protocol. NI can freely trade within the EU free market. The UK choose for England, Scotland and Wales not to be part of that market, and thus get the burden of the checks that are imposed to anyone outside it when the ship goods to it.
It's only trade in goods. Services aren't included and they make up the vast majority of Northern Ireland's economy.
@@gavinhillick
The "...vast majority of Northern Ireland's economy" is composed of UK taxpayers' money - around 70%...
In what remains, agricultural goods are the largest part...
@@gloin10 You seem to think you're contradicting me but you're not. That UK taxpayers' money you're talking about is overwhelmingly in the service sector, as I said. Trade in agricultural goods doesn't come anywhere close. So what's your point?
@@gavinhillick
Your claim, in terms of trade, is less than meaningless.
UK tax money put into Northern Ireland goes on salaries, government services, etc, which are NOT traded.
In terms of actual trade, agricultural goods are basically what NI has to offer.
@@gloin10 When did I say anything different? My point is that trade in goods makes up only a tiny part of Northern Ireland's economy, since the vast majority of it is services. What exactly is the issue here?
Not wanted by the brits and not liked by the Irish. Hilarious

@@everready2903 Precisely mate ..... sammy is a true gammon with a bloody great chip on his shoulder
@Charlie Munster exactly, the DUP wanted a hard Brexit, but they also forgot to tell people about the Good Friday Agreement. The DUP were part of the problem that caused this.
@@johndoe-ss9bz You’re talking out of your backside…these silly comments are meaningless, people like you rewrite the crap you pick up from republican propaganda, false facts and bigot comments..this has been no failed state..and the people who all live in the six counties Protestant and catholic all know it hasn’t been a failed state..the determination of the ppl who live here have been up against it, bombs and guns hasn’t deterred us..we’ve mostly all worked together, sorry to disappoint the bigots over the border..thankfully who you represent is most definitely in the minority
Hilarious the Sammy accuses the guy of having a "colonialist" mentality 😂
Jeffrey Donaldson he refused to sign the Good Friday Agreement Infact he left the Ulster Unionists in opposition to the GFA to join the Democratic Unionist Party who were opposed to it.
How can they look for anything when they campaigned for a hard Brexit which they got. Their behaviour towards the Irish Language and their failure to impliment it is disgusting. considering the DUP signed into it .
The Irish language should be an option at Year 10 in the same way it is for Urdu speakers on the mainland.
Nothing establishes the reputation of a DUP politician, like a meaningless grandstanding exercise, which amounts to nothing.
I wish John Finucane had called Sammy out about his line that NI are subject to different laws than the UK. The rest of the UK has LGBTQ+ laws, abortion laws, language laws, that the DUP have been blocking in NI for years. Seems its not about having the same laws as the UK, its about having the laws that suit the DUPs prerogative. Theyve been holding NI back for decades now.
Great point, I would have loved to see his flummoxed reaction to that 😂
@streetmuggedbypolice I didnt say that.. lm just making a point that NI doesnt have the same laws as the rest of the UK anyway, and the DUP are happy enough because it suits their rhetoric.
The Republic of Ireland has really jumped ahead of NI in recent years when it comes to liberty for citizens.
Holding back secularist insanity more like.
So sick of the same remarks from the all Ireland camp…just bc the DUP don’t agree with abortion or same sex couples doesn’t mean every Protestant or indeed unionist has the same views ffks..

@Paddy Ulsterman Ye lot dont speak for everyone in the North.
@paddy irishman: you should be used to not getting what you want at this stage 🤣🤣🤣
@Paddy Ulsterman Did you not already vote on this. It's been 5 years.
@Paddy Ulsterman the protocol is a result of Brexit which you voted for you numpty.... you helped put the border in the Irish sea between you and the actual Brits.
And you have zero support from mainland British people. They have always considered you Irish. Northern Ireland is a like a weird, confusing parasite to the Brits. They want rid.
Get your Irish passport ready, but I'm sure you already have one like the rest of them cretins.
@Paddy Ulsterman I've spoken to MANY mainland Brits and they all say they say they only see you as a Paddy! Not my opinion btw!
Fact is that you share nothing in common with them either. The so called traditions you hold dear to you are not shared by mainland Brits.
Also, there is NO comparison to Nationalists in this case because they all belong on this island... their traditions align with the rest of the island as we are the majority. You are the minority. Remember, power sharing is required as the tables have well and truly turned 🍀 🇮🇪
Shout out to all the Unionists in the North who aren't like you because there are many decent unionists thankfully 🙌
Loyalism & Unionism is dying. Let it go peacefully. The loyalists in Norn Iron have no identity and no common purpose. Best to ignore them.
If you think we should ignore them them then we should also ignore the ones that want reunification because we live in a democracy and everyone has a voice in this case the loyalists are stronger and a majority for now if you ignore them then you ignore democracy!

True saying,Ya cant educate timber.
I love that the rest of the UK are finally seeing what NI have had to put up with from the DUP all these years .. they are exhausting!
Sammy Wilson's statement that you could keep the free trade deal with the EU and get rid of the protocol is a total lie. To the extent that the UK has any deal in goods with EU it is BASED on the protocol and withdrawal agreement. Pull out the protocol and the entire deal collapses. The EU has already indicated it will impose punitive tariffs on British goods if further unilateral action is taken.
The ongoing saga of "Boris the Liar" and Sammy from the DUPed party ,once again Bigotry as always trumps common sense
Simon Hoare there saying that his constituents would bite his hand off to have access to the single market.
I do like Sammy but he does talk a load of it, NO Sammy you can not export dairy products to the EU without being in the single market! Even with GB's current trade deal problems are through the roof.
Lets talk trade, until the Great Depression in the 1930s, Northern Ireland ran an annual surplus, and was a net contributor to the UK exchequer. " Nine of the twelve UK statistical regions (the exceptions are London, South East England and East of England) carry a deficit. At nearly £5,000 per capita, Northern Ireland's is the highest, followed by a £4,300 per capita fiscal deficit in Wales and £4,100 in North East England. Although the absolute size of Northern Ireland's deficit has fallen slightly from £9.7 billion in 2016-17 to £9.4 billion in 2018-19, proportional to the size of the economy, the deficit was higher during the 2018-19 fiscal year than any year from 1970 to 2000"
If the DUP hard right wing and loyalists don't start pulling themselves out of this hole they've been digging for themselves, then ALL of us will start feeling the effects with higher taxation etc. This is adult stuff right here, something that appears to be lacking in N.Ireland!
Going, going, gon... DUP have managed to hurt the loyalist position in NI more than anyone else now.

Christ Sammy is such a dinosaur 🦕 !
Sammy, stop lying. There is a Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the EU, this is very far from a Free Trade agreement. The only Free Trade agreement requires membership of the Single Market.

Loyalists are so weird. We in Britain think they are odd. Loyal to what? The UK.. sure but you're in IRELAND hahahaha
Loyalism is a plea: loyalist want Britain to be loyal to them. The real issue with the protocol is the unambiguous message that Great Britain is no longer loyal to unionists (assuming they ever were).
That's like saying the Welsh are in Wales and the Scots are in Scotland ha ha ha. What is the UK then?

Why bother being loyal to a union that does not want you?

He was talking like some 19th-century colonial ruler,”
I would go back to more 17 th century with the DUP/UNIONIST terrorists party and sammy the snake Wilson, the English people and Welsh people although the Welsh people are on the fence a bit more shall we say but anyway if the English people want to go on their own road of with them I've no problem with that.
The EU have been fair in fact in some areas a little to soft but then that's for the politicians to work out, but as I said the English people are out so let them off but the good Friday agreement is and always will be protected I would like to think the British government and public would want that as well I certainly don't want any Irish or British people killed because of the likes of DUP/UNIONIST terrorists party or the sammy the snake Wilson in if I could bring back any of the poor people Irish or British people they would be worth far more than any of these DUP/UNIONIST bigots and of course sammy the snake Wilson.

Just a thought, not trying to be antagonistic 👍
Sammy Wilson has no idea what he's talking about.
Try selling mail order into the EU from Stranraer compared to Belfast and he might understand the difference between being in the SM and being a third country with a FTA.
And there has never been uniform law across the UK. Since 1707 Scotland has had a separate legal system with unique laws and in 1801 Ireland brought a third legal system, which NI inherited.
The Unionists used to be quite happy with NI only laws when they could use them to suppress Catholics!
So ashamed to live in N.I now. That said, this is not high up on mine, or anybody else's thoughts, or priorities, with more than one brain cell. There are far more pressing things to be concerned about.
Is Sammy Wilson from the DUP ignorant of the trade deal and protocol between the UK and the EU or is he just being disingenuous about it?
Just asking as an outsider.

Since NI strongly voted remain a remainer is absolutely the right person to chair that committee. No Brexiteer could properly represent the wishes of the majority of the population of NI. The committee isn't there to "represent the UK position" on anything, rather it is to speak for the interests of the people of NI in Westminster.

Ireland United would flourish, and the transition to such would be supported by both Irish and British governments until such time that the financial viability would be achieved.
The DUPs politics are self destructive and are not based on democracy or economic prosperity,but more of a hatred or a fear of a potential united ireland.
Northern ireland unionists are in the North for generations and will have to have a place and a say a future united ireland and that is the beauty of democracy, and that end of the day it is the island of ireland and peace and prosperity are possible once sectarian knuckle draggers are cast aside.
