The EU and the UK are on the brink of 'sausage wars' today as ministers slammed 'nonsensical' and 'bonkers' trade curbs on Northern Ireland and Brussels threatened reprisals. The increasingly bitter clashes came ahead of a crunch meeting between Brexit minister Lord Frost and European counterpart Mr Sefcovic tomorrow. Mr Sefcovic said the current Northern Ireland Protocol was the 'best solution' to 'the type of Brexit that the current UK Government chose'. The Prime Minister's Official Spokesman later blasted the EU over the prospect of an import ban on chilled meats. You look at the current situation in Northern Ireland, in particular with the political calendar, it is coming up to 'marching season'.
