Britain does not break Treaties.

It would be bad for Britain, bad for our relations with the rest of the world and bad for any future treaty on trade we may need to make.

As Harold Macmillan said recently: “We used to stand for good faith. That is the greatest strength of our commerce overseas. And we are now being asked to tear up a Treaty into which we solemnly entered” .

Oh dear....

I gave up at "Excellency".

Milliband was, surprisingly, quite good last night (unless you read the Fail), seemed to get up Johnson's nose:

we know a song about that...

Are Johnson and the ERG and so on...also being ironic?

Almost certainly not. Although some of the ERG chaps seem to be quite hostile to this course of action. Just saying.

[Old Greg]

Some of that is true, some isn't. I'm not Boris' biggest fan, for example.
I'm loving the frothing though.

Yes Boris's hysterical ranting is hilarious. A "blockade" of food exports from GBP to NI

You voted for Brexit, you voted Tory, you said Boris and is oven ready deal is great, your were for the MPs rushing the NI deal through Parliament yet now Boris has changed his mind you blindly follow him in reneging on the agreement.

SNP now making a valid argument that a government that breaks international treaties can't be trusted.

Difficult to find an adequate counter-argument.

Anyone who doesn't agree with Boris hates the UK and should f**k off to North Korea. That's their usual argument.

International treaties are signed between nation states, and the EU isn't one, (although it behaves like one in all but name) as you like to point out when it suits.

I'm sure a Brexidiot or 2 will be along soon to give their defense
