UK Withdrawal and the ‘Backstop’ for Northern Ireland – Key Slides

In the following series of slides, Katy and David look at what’s actually involved in the EU’s Protocol and what has been agreed; what the UK Technical Note proposes to add to/change in the backstop; what this backstop could mean for trade and regulatory divergence between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK; and if the backstop becomes a reality, how ‘hard’ could the Irish sea border become?
