Johnson’s empty seat policy is a futile gesture
PM wants to look tough by refusing to send ministers to EU meetings that don’t directly affect UK. He’ll actually make us look foolish.
Is Johnson taking mickey with flimsy “commitments” to peace?...
PM hopes EU will scrap “backstop” in return for unspecified commitments. If it wasn’t so serious, one would think this was one of his jokes.
Raab seems to have same loose grip on facts as his boss
Foreign secretary claims he made clear during referendum we could leave the EU without a deal. Snag is nobody can find any evidence he did.
Johnson’s big problem: there’s no “there” there
PM’s posturing obscures suspicion he has no clue where he wants to go. His facile positions can’t be construed into a discernible policy.
PM’s deal is awful in many more ways than just the backstop...
May makes out that if backstop is tweaked her deal is good to go. But it leaves UK poorer, less powerful and in Brexit talks for years.
