His false claims about the withdrawal agreement reveal an utter lack of interest in Brexit’s consequences for Belfast and Dublin, says Irish Times columnist and author Fintan O’Toole

The difficulty for other governments in dealing with Boris Johnson is to figure out whether he is lying or merely ignorant. There was so much weirdness in the general election campaign that it was easy to miss a moment that would have once caused something of a sensation. But in this new era, it was barely remarkable that a friendly foreign government had to intervene to say that important statements by a British prime minister were patently untrue.

Time for the Northerners to get together with Scotland and tell Boris to take a hike.

What's the UK equivalent of impeachment?

EmmaKennedy CatioMiles this could be the second focus. The detail. Was the manifesto that presented sound? We shouldn’t give up, we should focus on the detail. If the MP fails to uphold members duties or Nolan’s principles, this should be called out in parliament; resign.

From his face Boris Johnson was resemble husband of Elizabeth II in Indonesia in War World II and Dutch period.

I suppose by the time I arrive in London next year it will be England and no longer the UK.

Why shouldn't he continue to lie when he knows that England have enough fools to vote against their self-interest & are easily duped. He is a perfect example for future politicians to follow

Reasons to be less pissed off - 1. Johnson should not be in thrall to the DUP or ERG.

Good luck holding on the N. Ireland and Scotland

I̶r̶e̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ everything. Fixed it for you.

One thing it does change is parliament hahajajajajajJajahahHHajajahahaha

A victory won by Brexit lies does not make those lies trueHow can we believe that a party wedded to deregulation and flirting with Trump’s America will ever govern for ‘one nation’? But it is still a victory. And you still don’t understand voting. One story doesn't make up for a decade of lies peterloo forgotten by racist press How can you believe that leftists obsessed with 'diversity' care about one nation at all? You will literally say anything, any lie or clownish nonsense, in order to make a partisan attack.
