Brexit: Johnson threatens Sunak’s deal & people saying same thing

Time for Boris Johnson to pipe down?

The PM’s spokesperson has just told journalists that “no deal has been done as yet” on the Northern Ireland protocol.

Some reports have claimed that a technical deal has been agreed, and that it has been sitting on PM Rishi Sunak’s desk for a few days, but what needs to be resolved are the political optics around it.

So what are these optics?

Has Boris Johnson go anything to do with it?

Rebel

It comes as Rishi Sunak has been warned that more than 100 Tory MPs could rebel over a deal with the EU to help break the post-Brexit deadlock in Northern Ireland, as Boris Johnson launched a major intervention calling for him to take a tougher line with Brussels.

In the first pronouncement by Johnson on Brexit since he left office, a source close to him said he believed “it would be a great mistake” to drop the legislation and hinted that it should be maintained as leverage over the EU.

Great mistake

The Northern Ireland Protocol Bill was set in motion when Mr Johnson was PM, but Mr Sunak has been meeting EU leaders to agree a new deal.

Since 2021, certain trade checks cover some goods crossing the Irish Sea.

A source close to Mr Johnson said the former PM thought it would be a “great mistake” to move away from his plan.

On Johnson’s intervention, Penny Mordaunt, the Commons leader, claimed it was “not entirely unhelpful”. She said, “Boris is being Boris.”

We're pretty sure that:

🔴Boris Johnson wouldn't try to WRECK a Brexit deal

🔴Boris Johnson wouldn't try to jeopardise PEACE in Northern Ireland and bring down a Prime Minister

… merely to further his own CAREER.#ResignBorisJohnson pic.twitter.com/BVaV3qvk8Q

What? What is Johnson's warning? That no-one should attempt to remedy his dishonest and unworkable deal that left Northern Ireland politics in a permanent state of paralysis?

I am getting the feeling that Boris Johnson does not want Sunak to succeed. He cannot afford to let Rishi get Brexit done.

It’s incomprehensible UK news shows are still talking about Boris Johnson’s intervention in the NI Protocol negotiations without pointing out he deliberately misled the public by saying there would be “no checks” under his “oven ready” deal https://t.co/fiJlblQCLr

Boris Johnson does not want Sunak to succeed… and he’ll happily destroy the country and his own party by playing that jealous Big Dog in the manger.

Johnson is the most dangerous & criminal-minded politician we’ve ever had. https://t.co/6RnfCqoN9v

The NI troubles claimed nearly 4,000 lives and 50,000 injured. But Boris would risk a return to all that like he is playing pontoon for matchsticks.

What does he care – it won't effect HIM, haw haw!

But just hold this thought, @BorisJohnson : 1970's PIRA didn't have drones.

I get the impression that all the Tory party just want to find a way to make money out of it, just not agreed on best way. https://t.co/dXbYZu5fLH

FFS can we just have a #GeneralElectionNOW this lot are going to continue the in-fighting and getting fuck all done (their inaction leading to the collapse of many areas such as the NHS – still no replacement for Tavistock) whilst real people are really suffering. https://t.co/K7GPRn4VAy

Harsh or fair?

The whole Johnson family should be in prison for treason. https://t.co/BT1Zu6E1zF
