    Those unknown advisers that pop up every so often. He had a good team before becoming PM and got rid of them. That’s how it works. He can’t be in control of everything. He gets briefed and sometimes it’s naff advice.

    It’s actually no news because nothing has been agreed. although Boris was a mug for signing that deal.

    Ok. Let me know how much control we’ve taken back when it’s all done.

    We have already taken back control.
    Ireland will be sorted because Boris/Tory jobs depend on it. You keep on moaning like Adonis/ O’Brien/Femi

    I’m not moaning. Our reported submission to the ECJ is a good thing.

    Not really. Maybe for you and Lord Adonis but for the rest of us we don’t need ECJ involved with a part of our country.

    It sounds like you’re in for some unfortunate news then (when this becomes news which it isn’t now despite being reported by The Times).

    Ridiculous to think that this is what caused 100s of MPs to rebel against May and oust her from office - and yet now it's a complete non-issue and 'sovereignty' is no big deal all of a sudden.

    It’s not news yet though. When it’s news I may agree with you.

    It appears that the Cabinet Secretary’s office had covid law breaching Xmas parties too The same Cabinet Secretary, Simon Case, tasked by Boris Johnson to investigate Xmas parties Shouldn’t be difficult to investigate! We’re now in pure Alice in Wonderland territory!

    Yeah, I heard some locals on the radio this morning saying exactly that - farmers and rural communities are extremely pissed off about how Brexit will impact them. So much so, that a constituency in which 60% voted Leave has elected a Remainer* Lib Dem to be their MP..I still think that the vote was mainly about Johnson himself, but it does seem that Brexit was a factor.

    * I hate to use that term, because I think that defining people by how they voted in the referendum should have stopped long ago, but it's still used all the time by those that were pro-Brexit (you know, the people who like to tell us that we should 'move on').

    Reporter chatting with a political pundit on TV discussing the by election and the reporter asked “What about Labour in all this”? The pundit just brushed them off “Labour has no leadship”. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    poll just in say 93% say it was a ‘protest vote’

    Labour didn't campaign seriously in North Shropshire. I heard a Labour member this morning saying he'd canvassed on behalf of the Lib Dem.

    It’s a textbook case of what progressive parties can do within the confines of FPTP. It won’t work everywhere but it’s the only chance England has of not being Tory-dominated and there’s a slim hope they might be waking up to that.
