Brexit Brief 163

Issue 163 of the Brexit Brief examines the state of play’ in Northern Ireland, looking in particular at King Charles’ Speech at the beginning of November; recent dialogue from the Tánaiste on the Shared Island Initiative, reconciliation and the DUP’s stance on the Windsor Framework; a discussion with the Taoiseach on the likelihood of a border poll; and an update on the DUP’s possible return to Stormont. As ever, the Brief concludes with a round up of ‘The Evolving Debate’ in Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland, highlighting poll findings on border poll opinions, government party support and the recent visit of a US trade delegation to Belfast, in what was described by one commentator as a “Stormont Simulation”.
