Brexit Brief 156

The latest edition of the Brexit Brief deals with the ongoing political impasse at Stormont, with the DUP still refusing to commit to a timeline for restoring the NI Assembly and Executive despite calls from London, Dublin, and Brussels to do so. Meanwhile, Sinn Féin’s success in last month’s local government elections has stoked debate around preparing for Irish unity, with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar cautioning against holding a border poll prematurely. In Great Britain, polling reveals that a majority of people now regret Brexit and favour forging closer ties with the EU going forward.
