Quite correct, Priti Patel effectively said that she will implement SOME kind of border - it may be this spot checks and cameras - but they haven’t yet got anything like this in place.
OR they may be considering putting a border in the IRish sea between NI and the rUK — THIS would work but the DUP won’t be happy
This was always the solution. The DUP is just going to have to accept that they cannot prevent ID checks - that would effectively mean holding the entire UK hostage. Unacceptable.
