SoS not the man for the job
If the Secretary of State has cleared up any confusion around the Windsor Framework, it's that he is not the man to sell it.
Mr Heaton-Harris said there will be a "whole bunch of consultation" before any petition from 30 MLAs from at least two parties would be considered. The lack of clarity will do little to assure unionists their concerns of a "democratic deficit" as a result of the protocol have been fully addressed. He said the government will address this by legislating to reassure unionists that their constitutional position in the United Kingdom is secure.
