"LONDON (AP) — A senior European Union official headed to London Thursday for an emergency meeting with U.K. officials over Britain’s plan to break part of the Brexit divorce agreement."

Someone, has to sort out the 'dog's dinner'!!

Good Luck! 🍀
"Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative British government announced this week that it plans to legislate to give itself the power to deviate from some of the provisions in the agreement about Northern Ireland trade."

#LiarJohnson is evidently on an ego trip, of sorts!!
“The withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation and we expect that the letter and the spirit of the withdrawal agreement will be fully respected,” Sefcovic said.

UK citizens are in agreement with EU and expect elected representatives to act in national interest.
"Nancy Pelosi has delivered a stark warning there will be no Transatlantic trade deal unless Boris Johnson honours the Brexit divorce terms on Northern Ireland."
"The US Speaker of the House underlined the high stakes as Michael Gove holds crisis talks with the EU today over UK threats to tear Withdrawal Agreement."
"However, Ms Pelosi insisted there was 'absolutely no chance' of Congress passing an American trade deal with the UK if the Northern Ireland peace process was 'imperilled'."
"In a statement on Wednesday, Ms Pelosi: 'The Good Friday Agreement is the bedrock of peace in Northern Ireland and an inspiration for the whole world."

"The UK must respect the Northern Ireland Protocol as signed with the EU to ensure the free flow of goods across the border."
"Tory former prime minister Sir John Major reacted angrily to Mr Johnson's stance on international law."

'For generations, Britain's word – solemnly given – has been accepted by friend and foe. Our signature on any treaty or agreement has been sacrosanct,' he said.
'Over the last century, as our military strength has dwindled, our word has retained its power. If we lose our reputation for honouring the promises we make, we will have lost something beyond price that may never be regained.'
"Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer insisted Mr Johnson needed to secure a deal with the EU."

"He said: 'If you fail to get a deal, Prime Minister, you own that failure.'"

Time to put national interest ahead of capitalist, self-interested Tory Party donors and ministers!
There is no shame in admitting that something cannot be implemented but, to push ahead with measures that can only destabilise and damage UK: Scotland; Wales, NI and England, are premeditated criminal acts that dishonours mandate and trust of UK citizens!

@UnrollHelper "Liz Truss’s and Kwasi Kwarteng’s 2012 free-market treatise Britannia Unchained has shot up the sales charts, hitting the top spot on Amazon rankings for books on “economic conditions”. It costs £19.55 for the paperback."

@UnrollHelper Ought to come with a health warning for the nation's economy!
@UnrollHelper “The key is to make sure that failure is survivable,” is one of the book’s insights. “In the early stages of a project, failure need not be a disaster.”

"This is likely to provide scant consolation to Tory MPs facing the threat of losing their seats at the next election."

"The ecological destruction Liz Truss plans to unleash on this country is not collateral damage. It is not a byproduct of her economic programme. It’s a mark of true faith, a sign that she is following her ideology to the letter."
"For fundamental to this doctrine – neoliberalism – is the belief that everything on Earth can and should be turned into something else."
"Rather than seeking to protect the soil – the delicate ecosystem from which 99% of our calories are produced – Hayek says it makes sense to extract as much value as it can produce, exhaust it “once and for all”, then abandon the land."

@chalemedia @acgrayling Ukrainians are focused solely on survival.
@chalemedia @acgrayling I share your concerns and thought you might be interested to see this article, published well before war in Ukraine.

War has focused attention on what they need to survive and understandably so.

"As the virus accelerates it evolution, the humans capitulate. For two and a half years, the virus has been outrunning our response, getting progressively more and more transmissible, reaching a level of infectiousness that few pathogens have ever attained."
"Instead of taking a stance of getting ahead of the virus, and out-smarting it, people have succumbed."

Some may think humans are an infinite resource, i.e. plenty more where they come from.

However, it takes many years/cost for each new life to reach maturity/productivity.
"As we watch the virus strikingly improve its ability to find new or repeat hosts, you would think it would be considered an urgent call for action."
