The PM's claims appear to go against what's been said by government ministers on the Northern Ireland border.
The impact of that was set before parliament in October, in a document which found there will be extra costs and processes for businesses trading with Great Britain , but none for deals with Ireland, which for practical purposes will be treated as intra-EU deals.
The department said:"The policy is outlined in the WA and Explainer for the new Ireland/Northern Ireland protocol."This point was made clear by Steve Barclay, the Brexit Secretary, in front of a House of Lords committee in October. This was later contradicted by various ministers and confusion abounded.
Both Boris Johnson and Theresa May had promised Northern Ireland that there would be no increased barriers to trade with the rest of the United Kingdom.
