Speaking this morning, DUP MP Sammy Wilson said: 'We are British and we expect to be governed by British law, not Brussels law.'

THE DUP IS attempting to dampen hopes that it will support any deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol, despite Downing Street raising hopes of an imminent announcement of a deal.

Changes to the Protocol might pave the way for the DUP to end their effective parliamentary veto of the Assembly but senior DUP politicians have suggested that the bar for such changes has not yet been reached. “The progress made so far is very slim. The fundamental issues have not been addressed,” Wilson told Channel 4 News yesterday.Wilson went further today, stating that he does not believe there will be a deal this week between the UK Government and the EU.

We are British and we expect to be governed by British law, not Brussels law. We would certainly not collaborate in administering Brussels law in our part of the United Kingdom. According to a report in The Times, Sunak is willing to go ahead with a UK-EU accord even without the DUP’s support. A source close to Johnson said his view was that “it would be a great mistake to drop the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill” – which would empower UK ministers to unilaterally scrap parts of the treaty.

Your not british you were not born in Britain, ffs

The dup-licates are back, they feel the need to make noise because they realise they're not needed, inbreed shower of willy lickers

The time is coming were you'll be governed by Irish law

Flogging a dead horse

I thought there was already a binding agreement in place... Ah fella, dont tell me somebody went and broke their word after it was agreed with all parties and put in place and NOW they want a new deal because they think they can...so now their word is worth nothing 👍👍

Missed a few geography classes then? You’re Irish, you’re UK, you’re even European but unless another ice age comes or you emigrate, you can’t be British.

Sammy have you ever tried stand up comedy

British law will agree a settlement.

Great Britain don't want Northern Ireland anymore. Its costing them too much. The security bill for marching season would run another hospital.

So that's a no to everything then so. Sorry, you have to accept eu jurisdiction. Big surprise they pick the one thing not negotiable. Ffs tired of the c*&^s

For many years British advertising has almost always had in the small print ‘Not available in Northern Ireland’ Sammy et al hasn’t copped on yet, the Brits have.

Will somebody explain to that blob of lard that there are people living in the same place as him who welcome EU law and they’re now in the majority. He better start getting used to it.

Thick as shit ... The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.' He's Irish!

That’s like saying you follow the Bible and then only apply the verses you agree with or can use to feel superior and forget about the rest

Well Sammy, you know where the boat is, go home

The ,DUP, are playing games. They will never agree.

Do they know about Brexit?

Wait, now don't they want exceptions for women's health and other issues. A few more sound bites

You're in Ireland. Go back to Britain if you want British law you waster.

The only thing they should be governed by is a mighty kick in the hole

Dinosaur's even to own voter's

is the NI protocol not a British Law

Ye're not British, you're part of the British empire living on the island of Ireland. Fáilte Sammy dubh

Give the DUP what they really want, a United Ireland...

Funny how Sammy Wilson fought hard against British law's on marriage equality and women's reproductive rights. The DUP hypocrisy knows no bounds. You are only British when it suits you.

I thought Britain was England, Scotland, Wales?

Fair play

These lads don't seem to understand that England wants nothing to do with them

Lol did anyone expect them to do anything else

'We are Irish & we expect to be governed by Irish law, not Brussels law.' Fixed it

Ah sammy i thought you were northern irish

DUP are worried they will run out of excuses not to work under Sinn Feinn first minister..

He is British Subject as he does not live in Britain, same as those living in India, Canada, Australia ect. They don’t get that!

But Britain is the island consisting of England, Wales & Scotland… It’s the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland!! So if they are British, why don’t they live in Britain?

“Is you on holiday”.

Sighs deeply…

Not British! Even the British don't consider him British. As they say themselves, 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.' So he's Irish!

'so is you just on holidays in Ireland Sammy' ☘️ 😂😂😂

They'll be singing a different tune when they get total alignment with the UK relationship with EU.

Madness! Are these so called 'British laws' even written by globo technocrats? How would they even work? Probably nationalistic and socialistic. Ugh. Who wants to prioritise the needs of a nation over the globe? That's racist capitalistic greed. (Sarcasm)

No Sammy you’re Irish , born bred and buttered In Ireland !
