Better, it removes any potential obstacles which might have convinced others that the GFA was under threat.
The border in Ireland has nothing to do with the GFA, neither does the WA. However, the EU/Republic of Ireland would end up needing to put a hard border up if Boris invoked the clauses in the internal markets bill - they walked right into that one. The way they weaponised the border in Ireland has come to bite them on the ass. If they didn't put up the border, it would expose their lies and deceit over the border and how they deliberately used the GFA to try and get the UK to stay in the EU.
Tut tut.
