And this twit of twits, gets tens of thousands of votes to put him in parliament. Makes his colleague Sammy Wilson look quite intelligent, which is a feat in itself.

Nobody who's ever been born yet has the ability to make Sammy Wilson look intelligent.
IPJ just got caught in the moment I think, and he looked like he was as full as a bingo bus, so probably wasn't taking time to think.

So really, at the end of the day, there is an effective solution to the protocol issues, which have been blessed by Joe Biden, in so far as he assured Boris, that such a solution would not hamper a UK - USA free trade agreement. Time to step up and grab the opportunity with both hands.

Ireland urges Boris Johnson to 'very seriously consider' option to resolve Brexit Protocol tension

The words follow the US easing the way for a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement by reassuring the UK it won't stop a trade deal.

And did he enlighten the listeners as to the alternative?

That take a knee idiot will probably suggest trying to rejoin the EU as an alternative

I’d recommend anyone to look at Macron’s statement today around the time spent on Brexit by all European leaders, and what they expect from Johnson. It’s measured, precise, to the point all that Johnson lacks.

Boris trys to convince himself that he's smug.

 

[M-J-G]

Smug asshole.

Which one?

 

[JimAndy]

so once again Boris has took the knee and kissed marry-lou ass, and surrendered to the terrorist once again

 

[The Agrarian]

Basically yes. Much the same as every British prime minister since thatcher.

However, equal blame lies with the DUP for not being smarter about it. They've just allowed this issue to hang around like a bad smell for the terrorists to use when it suits them. Far better to have taken that tool away from them by getting something passed long before now. Yes, an Irish and ulster-scots act will be a compete nonsense, of no practical use to anyone, a burden to the taxpayer and council rate payer, and only serve to harden divisions among people. What we obviously need is less flags and emblems, not more. But then again, when did common sense matter. Far better to have passed something in the assembly, clearly stating these reservations, while not wishing to be seen as denying minority rights - and let the public see for themselves the reality of it.
