So, in Johnson's view and in the eyes of May, and the remainder of her cabinet - the December declaration was nothing more than an artificial confection agreed to for the benefit of moving to the political declaration part of A50 regarding the future relationship. ➡️
Or, and this always has to be a consideration with Johnson, he's lying his considerable ass off and he knew exactly what the December Joint Report was and is only changing his position now for his traditional reasons of his own personal advancement in the Conservative Party. ➡️
Neither is a particularly edifying prospect: Either the UK's current head of government is a sociopathic liar or everybody else in the upper echelons of the current ruling party that aspires to the job is a sociopathic liar. ⏹️
