That’s what I had assumed from day 1 that westminster would Do. There’s no obligation if you’ve walked away - let the EU put a border up. Big boost for NI trade as every man and dog sets up an address in Belfast to allow easy cross order shipments. ‘Sort of’ real border in the sea. Tell the DUP to suck it up.
