If it was up to the EU, this issue would have been resolved a long time ago but the Tories and many Brexiteers want to keep this fight going because they need a scapegoat to distract the British people away from the mess the UK government is making of the UK.
After all, it's a lot harder to keep blaming the EU for a lot of the problems in the UK, something the Tories have done many times whiles we were part of the EU, now the government is worried the British people will turn their attention to UK governments on why the UK is such a mess, hence why the Tories keep picking a fight with the EU, in the vain hope of making them seem the bad guy, it's laughable in a sad way but that's how low the Tories and Brexiteers have got too.
In any case, you want to solve Brexit, we have to get rid of the Tories to solve that, otherwise they are going to keep dragging it out because it's in their interest to do so, in the meantime, expect things to get worse not better in the UK.

I suspect that was a big factor of Brexit, the key is for the Tories to pull the wool over the British eyes on watering down rights they take for granted, something the might do slowly over time in the hope the British people don't notice.
Another factor on why the Tories will want to weaken many of these rights is so they can stay competitive with the EU market, after all, leaving the EU has put the UK at a disadvantage, offering businesses better terms like lower workers rights and other stuff like that might work but it's bad news for the British people that thought Brexit would mean things getting better, all the indicators are showing things getting worse and it's still early days on that.
In any case, I never for one second thought Brexit was about rasing standards in the UK when the UK could have done that's whiles part of the EU, but lowering standards below EU standards is something the UK couldn't do whiles in the EU, now they can, the question is how will they get that past the British people to accept that, something I suspect they are working on.

I don't think they are going to solve the Northern Ireland issue until we get rid of the Conservative Party, as I get the impression that they don't want to solve this problem as they need a scapegoat in the EU to keep blaming the mess the UK government keeps making.
As for Truss, it's a different coat of paint but the same party that created most of this mess in the first place, Labour are loving everything the Tories are doing to themselves because they are more or less wiping themselves out, what the Tories needed was a radical new direction and Truss is more of the same, something the British people will find out after about 6-12 months with her running the show.
Honestly, I get the impression that the Conservative Party doesn't realize how much damage they are doing to their image in the UK, it's like they are lurching from one mess after another and Truss shows no signs of changing any of that and until the Tories get rid of the loons that they've let into power, the ERG movement, it's likely going to keep damaging the party because they are becoming less of a moderate party and more radical.
In any case, for survival reasons, Truss will try and give what the people want short term but it will likely come at a high cost for the British people, after that, she'll do what the Conservative do best and that's to protect the interest of the rich elites, so guys, if any of us are expecting any major difference with this new government, good luck on that because it's going to be more of the same as what we've already seen over the last few years and the sad thing is, even Labour are not that much better but you need another party in power that isn't connected to Brexit so they can try to repair ties with the EU whiles trying to heal the UK union because the Tories are creating division that could break the UK apart if we're not careful and if Truss is more of the same, that's playing right into that.
