Depends who you choose to follow. If it’s a load of flag-shaggers and [HASHTAG]#MBGA[/HASHTAG] accounts then he could cure world hunger and be despised.
Not all of them. Plenty knocking him for other stuff. Anyway you will say it’s raining on a sunny day? The bloke has made a tit of himself.

It's really, really, really important stuff. Forget our government potentially breaking international law, whilst insisting everyone abides by a new 'law of 6'. Forget the incompetence of the test and track system and the testing farce that is happening right now. Typical and predictable tactic to the point it's become embarrassing.
 
Love this.

Wasn't sure to stick this in the joke thread or in here.... Ah well

Did anyone catch Trumps cataclysmic interview with Jonathan Swan the other week? This version actually makes more sense!

Standing up to the EU and Barnier in particular, who is refusing to give the UK straightforward third country status (because he's using it as a negotiating tool), which means the EU can stop the flow of goods from the UK to NI.

Kind of feel like we shouldn’t have rushed the WA through and screamed “traitor” at anyone who suggested reading it first. Then again this whole thing for four years now has just been an exercise in saving the Tory party and making a few quid for the right people.

The WA is a skeletal agreement and requires good faith by both parties to implement it. Barnier is acting in bad faith

What do you mean by a skeletal agreement? You named it something else the other day? We negotiated it, we signed it, we rushed it through parliment. If it wasnt a good agreement...we shouldn't have negotiated it and signed it. who's to blame ffs. Even you know this Goldy.

Barnier tweeted that the EU is not refusing to list us as a third country.
 
I would really like to believe Johnson over this but his history of lying and withholding details to serve his cause, or just leading people up the garden path goes before him.

Some agreements you set out principles and key obligations, and rely on good faith bdtween the parties to impliment. The problem is the EU is using the WA to leverage the second agreement, the trade agreement.
