Having been in Belfast a number of times and having met unionists, my understanding is that they are concerned. The talk of it is concerning and the lack of clarity from our side and from all others is of more concern. Those unionist concerns need to be addressed. I reiterate the point that talk of a Border poll in the context of Brexit is not helpful, but the lesson of Brexit is that one does not have a referendum and then tell everyone what the future looks like. We need to do the reverse of what happened with Brexit.
