The Windsor Framework is nothing but a missed opportunity

Depsite the agreement our economic future still remains uncertain (EPA)

It is my contention that our prime minister made the wrong decision concerning Northern Ireland.

Had he instead negotiated for our rejoining the European Economic Community, all the complicated legal documentation in the Windsor Framework would have been entirely unnecessary. At the same time, it would have removed the main plank of the SNP’s argument for leaving the UK, British industry would have rejoiced, and the stock market and the pound would have bounced.

So what I see is an opportunity missed. Our economic future still stays depressed and the looming threat of the UK breaking apart remains.
