Personally, I think Liz may be about to get Northerrn Ireland undone. It's amazing to me, it's like letting a child loose in a fireworks factory with a box of matches. They don't understand Northern Ireland, and, worse, they don't actually care. Our only use for Westminster is as a club to use on the EU and to keep the Brexit faithful foaming at the mouth. The consequences for the whole of that wretched other island next door could be dire.
This excellent presentation:
shows the powder keg of the Irish question and how Brexit has exacerbated it.
As a Northern Prod, I favour Irish unity, but I can see the difficulties, and I recognise that many of my countrymen on both sides of the border don't want reunification (including most of the Irish, as soon as the cost of unity is mentioned). The last thing the Irish Government wants or needs is three-quarters of a million unwilling Unionists - and most of those would be unwilling in any kind of united Ireland. Whoever can solve this conundrum (as opposed to the standard technique of kicking the can down the road, which is what the Good Friday Agreement did) deserves an entire shelf of Nobel Peace Prize medals.
