(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) It is undeniable that there are issues that have arisen due to the 2016 Brexit vote.
On a daily basis, politicians are announcing new Brexit deals.
I can no longer summon the energy to be interested in the Brexit negotiations, I just want to make sure that those in charge are doing what they can to create a beneficial outcome for Britain.
It all started when David Cameron stepped down after the UK chose to leave the European Union, and Rishi Sunak has come up with an agreement to address the problems caused by the Northern Ireland protocol.
Recently, there have been briefings regarding the specifics of the agreement, which includes a relaxation of regulations on pet travel.
But, what is being done to address the larger issues that the country is facing?
Is it not time to put the past few years of disagreements behind us and strive to make our country better?
The EU will have influence over Northern Ireland, and this is not something that pleases the DUP.
The Stormont Brake is a mechanism created by Sunak, which allows the Northern Ireland Assembly to stop any new EU legislation from being applied in the region.
However, this comes with the possibility of the EU revoking single market access if it is used, which does not appear to be a desirable outcome.
It has been highlighted by the Resolution Foundation, that Brexit has had an impact on the cost of living in Britain.
The average worker will have a decrease in wages of £470 a year by 2030, and the labour market has also been affected.
Additionally, jobs have been lost due to foreigners leaving the UK, and the NHS, schools and farmers are all suffering due to inadequate trade deals and a lack of personnel.
Nevertheless, I am still weary of discussing Brexit.
The Northern Ireland protocol and the precarious political situation in the region need to be managed carefully, and Sunak’s Windsor Framework may be a suitable solution.

The Resolution Foundation report demonstrates the economic repercussions of the Brexit vote, as the average worker will suffer pay cuts by 2030.
Furthermore, there is a massive number of vacant jobs in the UK due to foreign workers leaving, and areas like education, farming, and healthcare have all been adversely affected by the B-word.
I comprehend that Brexit has had severe repercussions, however, I am still weary of speaking about it.
