    If Salmond publishes his version of events before his court case it may drop a lot more...

    Did you address Northern Ireland then, other than to say the EU will back off once they start getting shot at?

    The EU Commission don't understand they are playing with a powder keg. The more strictly they enforce customs rules, the more serious the risk to peace. Even RoI accept that

    This is the agreement that Johnson made. How can you blame the EU for sticking to it?

    All such agreements are operated with discretion. Take the example of British truckers going into Europe and having their sandwiches confiscated. The EU want to use NI to leverage the UK into its market and under its control

    Well don't be. They are not acting in good faith.

    Much Schadenfreude around that Amsterdam has (just) overtaken London as an EU share trading centre.
    So are firms now choosing EU over Brexit Britain?
    No: it is simply that Brussels has banned EU enterprises trading in London.
    Pure protectionism rather than customer choice.

    Flag Twitter is going nuts. He should commission a solid gold statue of Captain Tom killing a dragon to win over Brian278937373 in Cleethorpes.

    Increasingly, I am impressed with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. He is currently telling the more belligerent members of the EU who want a to spawn a trade war and an operation of obfuscation and non-cooperation with the UK, to dial down the belligerent rhetoric.

    At last, there is a voice of sanity from within the EU.

    That might also have something to do with the meat they export to the UK? Especially when there is talk of importing meat from Australia and New Zealand.
    Mr Martin may have more to lose than other member states. Good luck to him because the commission has already shown that they make the decisions.
