One day, this reality is going to have to be recognised. One day, a different route is going to have to be taken via that of mutual enforcement. The Windsor Framework is going to have to be ditched and UK laws are going to have to apply in Northern Ireland as they do anywhere else in this country. In my view, that is the only way forward. I do not think that the current arrangements can stand; they are overcomplex and create too many political problems and anomalies, and I do not believe they can work durably over time. I am sure that, with time, that is going to become clear. One day, they are going to be swept away and we will make this a properly United Kingdom once again.
