As an aside, Bertie was on SOR there and was masterful in his reading of the DUP.

There are conflicting reports on this
Peter Foster says they are on board, others are saying they aren’t
I think Unionist opinion will swiftly move against this
the definitive voice of Northern Ireland Tommie Gorman says that they are not on board
What was his reading on it?
Great that means that they can be fucked overboard and Johnson is no better man to do it.
You can watch it yourself shortly
He called it beautifully
I think the likelihood is this will not pass
I would not stake much on that however
It’s basically May’s deal, which was shit, with an NI backstop rewritten at short notice on the back of a packet of cigarettes
There’s also this
Amber Rudd was entirely correct when she invoked sexism as a reason why the likes of the ERG would reject May’s deal out of hand yet consider voting for this nonsense

Jolyon Maugham’s scenario is coming into view
Or at least a variation of it
what did he say?
Why does everyone presume Boris would win a GE? He’s a buffoon who plays well to Tory fire voters but can the Tories win an outright majority? Surely labour SNP and lib Dems combined will beat them? An election would crystallise labours brexit policy, I don’t know why it’s presented as unclear, that’s British media obfuscation in their vendetta against corbyn, it’s crystal clear. Corbyn may be unpopular to many but to say he’s “unelectable” is bananas, the alternative is Boris FFS.

Don’t underestimate how stupid people are.
Johnson can frame this as he did all he can.
The press etc will oppose Corbyn vehemently.
Corbyn is actually a spoon.
Boris is doing well in opinion polls
Because most of the UK media is little more than Tory propaganda

This is the way it had to go I guess.

EU and UK say yes

DUP says no

UK bungs a wedge to the DUP

DUP says yes
I really do have a perverse respect for the DUP
Their objections are basically the flip side of Irish people rejecting a hard border, and that’s fair enough
Tony getting fucked around here on RTE NEWS NOW.
