Henry Hill: Truss may struggle to persuade Brussels that the threat of action on the Protocol is real this time

By Henry Hill | 12 May 2022

Daniel Hannan: How Sinn Fein’s electoral success makes a United Ireland harder to achieve

A party which can’t even bear to say ‘Northern Ireland’ will never make Irish Brits feel welcome in an all-island state.

By Lord Hannan | 11 May 2022

By Henry Hill | 11 November 2021

Henry Hill: Frost secures a stay of execution for British trade with Northern Ireland, but no sign of a pardon yet

An agreement to extend grace periods would avoid the Government having to do so unilaterally, as it did previously.

By Henry Hill | 24 June 2021

Henry Hill: Frost’s appointment shows the Government is not resigned to the Northern Ireland Protocol

His extension of grace periods only makes sense as part of a strategy aimed at securing meaningful concessions to assuage unionist concerns.

By Henry Hill | 4 March 2021

Henry Hill: It is past time the Government worked out a British interpretation of the Belfast Agreement

Both the Prime Minister and his predecessor have failed to challenge the green-tinted vision of the treaty offered up by Dublin and its outriders.

WATCH: Coveney – Claim that EU would blockade UK shipments to Ulster ‘inflammatory language’

Graham Gudgin: Has Johnson kept his promises on Northern Ireland?

The Prime Minister has avoided some of the potential dangers, but nonetheless introduced a border inside the United Kingdom.

By Dr Graham Gudgin | 29 May 2020 | 68 comments

Why it’s too soon to pronounce on the number of people who’ve died in Britain of the Coronavirus

Andrea Leadsom: The legacy that I’ve left my successor at the Business Department

Jonathan Caine: It’s time for Sinn Fein to act decisively and leave the IRA behind

It’s deeply disturbing for many that a modern European democracy might shortly be led by a party that continues to have its strategy overseen by an Army Council.

By Lord Caine | 6 March 2020 | 30 comments

Stephen Booth: Checks in the Irish Sea. What they are, why the UK and EU disgree about them – and how they could wreck the talks

For the Protocol to work over the long-term, broad-based political consent for it must be gained then retained.

By Stephen Booth | 18 February 2020 | 39 comments

Smith’s dismissal is Johnson’s second chance to take the Union with Northern Ireland seriously

Grasping this nettle will involve appointing someone prepared to be considerably less popular with sections of the gallery than was their predecessor.

By Henry Hill | 13 February 2020 | 32 comments

Garvan Walshe: Sinn Fein say they want to reassure Unionists. Good luck with that.

As long as their activists call them “colonialists” and candidates glorify the IRA, the idea is as convincing as a Hannukah greeting from Jeremy Corbyn.
