The United Kingdom was officially created on January 1, 1801, when the Acts of Union 1800 joined Great Britain and Ireland. NI leaving brings that to an end.
The UK will be no more. The Olympic team name already confirms the direction this is going.

It's expected to wait for a few polls to ensure support is consistent.
Meanwhile, NI Unionists appear to have not fully processed what wheels they set in motion when they pushed for a hard brexit.
Journalists in Dublin still wonder if the DUP are "working for the other guys".

I am fucking pleading for Dems to say “Donald trump is a child rapist, and he won’t sue me for saying this bc it’s true.” every single time they go on tv, every time they do an interview, every time the send a tweet, or even say goodbye. “Trump raped kids” should be like Roll Tide for Dems.

I don't understand why so many people are upset about O'Neill being there.
the GFA was designed to respect both aspirations - a United Ireland or the Union and she was elected on a UI ticket. And she's First Minister of NI.
