To be fair, that’s the most eloquent and almost convincing version of the “I must have been hacked!” excuse I’ve seen.

Going back to what’s basically the EUs first proposal seems pretty desperate. Maybe Johnson is hoping he can get enough Labour MPs behind it who voted against Mays WA to compensate for the possible loss of 10 DUP votes.

That might have worked for DUP when they held the balance of power, not sure it’ll work now though. Irish nationalists/republicans have always known never to trust the Tories - looks like unionists are about to learn that lesson too.

So this is what “an end to red tape” and “taking back control” and “removing barriers to trade” looks like.

I always thought that trope where a woman in a meeting has an idea and it’s totally ignored then a man says the same thing 5 minutes later and it’s wildly popular was an exaggeration for comic effect. But no. It’s literally happening in the most important decision the country has taken in 50 years.
