Rishi Sunak - and Keir Starmer - both support Northern Ireland being in the Single Market but NOT the rest of the UK.
Goods coming from the EU to Great Britain - particularly fresh foods - are now subject to #Brexit border controls and checks, meaning extra paperwork, delays, costs and more expensive food for England, Wales, and Scotland.
But this doesn’t apply to Northern Ireland. Why? Because uniquely Northern Ireland is still in the EU’s Single Market for goods.
Following the Northern Ireland Protocol, amended by the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland exclusively enjoys full market access to both GB and the EU.
Whilst England, Scotland, and Wales must endure Brexit border controls for goods exported to, and imported from the EU, those controls don’t apply to Northern Ireland.
In February last year, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak waxed lyrical about the benefits to Northern Ireland of being in the EU’s Single Market for goods.
Speaking to workers at the Coca-Cola factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, Mr Sunak said his new post-Brexit deal put Northern Ireland in an “unbelievably special position”.
The Prime Minister said the new Windsor Framework meant creating "the world's most exciting economic zone" with international companies "queuing up to invest" in Northern Ireland.
Mr Sunak said the Windsor Framework means, “Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position - unique position in the entire world, European continent - in having privileged access, not just to the UK home market, which is enormous... but also the European Union Single Market.”
"Nobody else has that. No one,” said Mr Sunak. “Only you guys: only here, and that is the prize."
So enthusiastic was Mr Sunak in his talk to workers in Northern Ireland about the benefits of the EU Single Market that anyone would think he’s an ardent Remainer.
But of all the post-referendum Tory Prime Ministers, Mr Sunak is the most Brexity.
After his effervescent Single Market promotional talk in Northern Ireland, Downing Street was at pains to point out that his comments should not be seen as endorsing EU Single Market benefits for the whole of the UK.
The PM's spokesman said the British people had made their decision in the referendum in 2016, but Northern Ireland needed access to both the UK and EU markets because of the Good Friday Agreement and “to avoid a border on the island of Ireland, which nobody wants to see.”
Can you spot the irony?
Mr Sunak wildly enthusing about Single Market benefits for Northern Ireland, but not endorsing those same benefits for the rest of the UK, which must suffer detrimental barriers to trade with the EU, our biggest export and import market in the world (by far).

suggested changing title to something more likely to draw in people. Single Market has had a lot of exposure and may not draw in people.
@@mikezcooler Thanks. I am open to ideas and can remaster and repost the video in a couple of weeks. I agree it needs a sexier title, although that might not be the reason. It could be algorithms, I am not sure.
This is one of the daftest speeches that Sunak ever made. If the Tories hadn't wasted so much time and money on Brexit, all of the UK would still have the advantages that Sunak is so excited about, and the UK would still be one of the main powers in Brussels. Hopefully, they'll finally be out of power in a few weeks.
But unfortunately, Keir Starmer supports the same policy: Single Market for Northern Ireland but not the rest of the UK.
Actually, i felt it was one of the most honest speeches, because it was spot on true. However he didn't realise he had just exposed how his party has damaged the UK.
@@JonDanzig Starmer is walking a tightrope and not saying the quiet thing out loud until the majority realise (and admit) that they have been taken for fools and brexit was a shot in the foot. Corbyn tried to fight it and look where that got him, and the Labour party
So NI isn't part of the UK anymore, it's a separate country? If it is still a part, then it has exactly the same advantages/disadvantages as the rest of the country. The only difference being a land border with the EU, rather than a sea one.
Sunak is a clown. 🤡

Please share this video far and wide. Knowledge is our best defence, and attack, against the nonsense of Brexit - most especially during the general election.
Thank you.

This shows he does understand the problem. Which makes the gaslighting of everybody else so bizarre.
I honestly believe that Ireland will vote to reunify, because I believe they’ll come to the conclusion that it’s the only way to solve the brexit difficulties between ROI and NI.
Labour supports Brexit and that is a huge disappointment. But with our arcane and antiquated voting system, only the Tories or Labour can be UK government. Both of them ardently support Brexit.
I am doing my best to present the case for rejoining the EU or its Single Market during a general election campaign in which that option is simply not available to the UK electorate. I am also under severe attack by some pro Rejoiners who say I should not campaign at all during the general election, in case my anti Brexit posts hurt Labour's chances.
This is indeed a very strange time to be living through.

Keep at it Jon. 2+2 still = 4.
Keep doing what you're doing.

@@JonDanzig perhaps change the title to something like, "The Tories finally come clean and reveal the truth about Brexit" or "What every media interview should be asking of the Conservatives" or go with both titles in two posts.
I think they should be asking, if it is such a fantastic thing for NI, then why did we exclude ourselves from such a brilliant opportunity. I mean totally daft. This is where Sunak actually was honest and gave the truth about Brexit and the loss to rest of UK.
The BLOND Boofoon said GB better off outside signgle market
This is what WE used to have. The best position in the world
I can't believe people voted for him OH RIGHT they didn't
The charlatan should be removed from any form of power
I though Brexit meant no part of the UK can benefit from single market… makes no sense to me that when it suits them they can swing “single market” words, like being still a member, whilst the reality is that the UK now is the overseas country that wants to enjoy benefits without being a member ( I hope I made sense , haha).
Brexit meant whatever the deal said it would mean.
Northern Ireland in the single market for goods is what was agreed by both parties.
I am unsure, but maybe you could say that one set of British citizens has more rights than most other British citizens and we’re not equal under the law
I've been pleading with people to share this on Facebook and people aren't doing it!!!!
SHARE THIS!!! For fuck sake!!!

Calling Northern Ireland "the world's most exciting economic zone" is a quite interesting statement - particularly from a convinced brexiteer.
Jon assuming a change of government in July is it possible to get EU access and how would the government go about getting it?
The first move must come from the UK, but unfortunately both Sunak and Starmer have categorically ruled out going back into the Single Market (except for Northern Ireland). Ironic, eh?
@@JonDanzig thank you Jon
By fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria . And taking our place in line...
@@korolev-musictodriveby6583 did northern Ireland have to comply with this criteria?
