Miriam Lord: Johnson was never going to welch on his Monday morning appointment in Dublin with the Taoiseach. He’s not gone the full Trump, yet

But never mind. He was here now and scattering optimism and enthusiasm about like fairy dust.

“We gotta get on and do this….and that is what will get done” said Boris, blathering on while saying nothing about what his government intends to do to solve the backstop conundrum blighting Blighty’s Brexit. “I genuinely think it can be done. I think there is a way forward and I’m delighted it’s been approached in a positive way by governments around the EU, but particularly, obviously, here in Dublin.”and the EU wanted. It wasn’t forthcoming.

Earlier though, when enthusiastically empathising with border residents, he drew on personal experience “as someone who went to the border several times before the Good Friday Agreement and shuddered to see watchtowers on UK soil.” That was over twenty years ago. After masticating for three whole years, it’s a wonder Boris Johnson could see his breakfast, let alone chew it.. The Taoiseach also mentioned that he is also an admirer of the “great” man. Churchhill famously talked of jaw jaw and not war war. That must have brought mastication to mind.
