These are the kind of real business experiences that you will not hear Manufacturing NI refer to. As far as they are concerned there is nothing to see here. Yet, I have dozens of such businesses contacting me with similar issues all the time.

The absolute state of this! @RepRichardNeal simply makes up the election results. There is no Unionist consent for the Protocol and Irish Americans need to acknowledge this fact.
👀 Visiting U.S. @RepRichardNeal says political concerns about the NI Protocol have been “manufactured” - claiming only 7% of voters in #ae22 cast their ballot based on that issue.
@simoncoveney adds that Johnson’s government *proposed* this arrangement… @VirginMediaNews

Such folly. Implementing the protocol in full means ending grace periods with an economic tsunami hitting Northern Ireland. Power sharing only works with cross community consensus. There is no unionist support for the protocol. The protocol will destroy the GFA if not dealt with.
“We call upon the UK to implement fully the NI Protocol, which avoids a hard border on the island of Ireland, preserves the integrity of the EU Internal Market, and protects the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts. We agree that renegotiating the Protocol is not an option.”
