UK tones down threats in N Ireland trade spat with EU

the Brits have had their bluff called.

That's all.

Johnson and his lackeys have believed their own hype but are learning in the real world, it doesn't cut the mustard.

Absolutely incorrect and a complete contradiction to say that: "The DUP leads Northern Ireland’s power-sharing government"

"Power sharing" means power is shared by two equal parties (Both Sinn Fein and the DUP). Neither party leads.

Also, Northern Ireland and the UK are not "part of the same country." Firstly, the UK is three countries (Eng, Scot, Walles) plus the annexed "Northern Ireland" , a disputed 6 occupied counties of Ireland. Irrespective of this, e.g. Wales is not "The same country as the UK". Wales is one country within the UK.
