The only surprising thing about the latest manifestation of Johnson's dishonest and untrustworthy character, is that anyone even pretends to be surprised by his dishonest and untrustworthy behaviour. Let's recall what many of us despised-experts have been saying for many months:
Johnson only signed WA because Parliament forced his preferred "total no deal" off the table; but it was clear he would seek to undermine his very own Irish border provisions at earliest opportunity; & that he had no serious intention of reaching a deal on future EU-UK relations
At time, Brexit loons reacted with their usual fury: how dare you question the UK's good faith, insult the integrity of our Gentlemen's Government, query Global Britain's moral superiority... And yet, if today's reports are accurate, that's exactly the derision HMG fully deserves
Perhaps most pathetic of Tory attempts to "justify" Johnson's self-serving threat to NI stability? Suggesting that, since he has been lying about his own WA from before it was even ratified, his misleading claims should now take priority over the actual legal text of the treaty.
Let me offer Johnson some free legal advice about the soundness of that "justification": grow up and start acting like the proper political leader of a serious country, instead of debasing and damaging the UK with your grubby, vulgar Trump-tribute act. No need to say thanks, PM.
