Have @BBCNewsnight , @guardiannews , @UKLabour , @LibDems or @theSNP etc asked @BorisJohnson yet...
Why did he *resign* over Theresa May's July 2018 Chequers Plan for whole UK - but now wants to impose *almost exactly the same* trade & customs arrangements on Northern Ireland?

@BBCNewsnight @guardiannews @UKLabour @LibDems @theSNP @BorisJohnson "Vassal" common rulebook on goods & facilitated customs arrangement from Chequers=virtually same as Johnson's "great new deal" for NI. Governance/dispute settlement plans by Johnson go even further than May proposals. So what's changed, PM? Why OK for NI when you resigned for GB?
@BBCNewsnight @guardiannews @UKLabour @LibDems @theSNP @BorisJohnson In fact only significant difference between "hated" Chequers plan [resign!] & Johnson's "new" backstop [great!] = lower "level playing field" commitments...
But then we know Johnson & Co are rather keen on enjoying power to drop standards for workers, environment, consumers etc
