A senior government figure has sought to clarify remarks suggesting a potential border poll in Northern Ireland is no longer under consideration, following the prime minister’s assertion that the issue is "off the table." The statement comes amid ongoing political discussions about the region’s constitutional future and the implementation of post-Brexit trade arrangements. While the government maintains its position on avoiding a poll, the clarification indicates some uncertainty or shifting perspectives within official circles. Analysts will be watching closely to see whether this signals broader policy adjustments or simply a miscommunication in recent statements.
