We all know it isn’t as simple as planning to flout international trade rules - so making these kinds of statements is just being political. I doubt anyone living in NI is happy with the situation as it is at the moment.

To be honest, the other half lives in NI. Nothing has been affected delivery wise coming from the UK to her (or me using her address for post) so far. Even returning things is as easy as it ever has been.
