Northern Ireland assembly will vote on whether Northern Ireland's Windsor Framework should continue to operate for another four years .

It effectively keeps NI inside the EU 's single market for goods, but the Irish Sea border remains a problem.

Businesses have been dealing with new checks and bureaucracy since 2021 , when the original version of the framework, the Northern Ireland Protocol , began to be implemented.

Some businesses in GB face new rules when selling to Northern Ireland .

The change is a particular challenge for micro businesses selling through online platforms.

Some say they will no longer be able to get their goods across the sea border.

By contrast, manufacturing output has been flat, with energy costs, skills shortages, and disruptions to global trade more significant.
