The surprising thing is they're surprised about #Brexit. They're as out of touch about this as they are #Covid19
Some examples
1. Don't Break Most Favoured Nation! - It's a WTO basic you can't set different terms, for that you need to be in the EU!

1a) Even more surprising is they've agreed to this.
TLDR is they know they're fooked in a no-deal no FTA scenario, and with this, they're confirming that.
Like everything else in Johnson land, it's more deception, the wrong idea, delivered in the wrong way, by the wrong people
1b) But it gets worse. I'm not sure whether Truss is smart enough to cover her ass, but I am sure that countries will fall over themselves to challenge this - not just for spite (though that'll happen with Russia), but due to the size.
27 NATIONS FFS
A little more than a breach
2. (No) Border Controls
I thought Gove was playing to the Rabid (or Raaabid?)
Can you set yourself up as taking back control of borders only to let anything and anyone be smuggled in?
The same open borders with #Coronavirus cost us £150B and 63,000 lives. Better luck this time!
3. Northern Ireland.
Many said this wasn't going away. I couldn't believe that a bunch of unionists had sold the mob the idea of splitting the nation down the middle as a win.
I thought it might break with NI defacto staying in the EU as Johnson ate his export promises...
3a Then when Raab on TV told Northern Ireland they had an amazing fortune, staying in the CU and SM, I honestly wet myself, just a little, laughing at the continued Raaabid Brexiter support.
But now, after all that, they're not even ready?
And Gove just blew the extension?
3b But it gets worse I'm afraid. It always does with #BrexitShambles. We're already "Most Hated Nation" by Democrats, slightly for cosying up with Trump, but much more importantly for completely dishonouring the Anglo Irish Agreement.
Visit Boston if you want to know why.
3c. I won't predict the demise of Trump but to turn flat curve->sharpened peak can't be good for reelection.
The #Brexit promise of a US Deal was always a lie, [it's a tiny offset for the EU]. But if Dems get in, it ain't even gonna be that.
Not so much oven-ready as roadkill.
Is this schadenfreude?
A told you so?
No, I'm sad populists led us to this.
Even tried to help - ways #Brexit could be achieved without ruin->🧏🦻
Not one a trade negotiator, not one who can do detail, led by the guy who CBA to turn up for pandemic briefings.
It was inevitable.
Postscript Oh God No REALLY IT CAN'T BE!
How badly did Faux mess up on rollover deals?
Canada told us they'd hold out for better terms when we were desperate
SKorea and Japan said only on vassal state (EU) terms.
Gawd Blimey Guv'nor u couldn't' make it up
