Now it's going to be very difficult for Boris to blame the EU for this mess, because he will have to also blame the US Congress. In fact, it's everyone's fault but ours, hey Boris? Or just maybe it could be, when you read the fine print (which is something Boris never does) we find that Brexit is fundamentally incompatible with the Good Friday Agreement. Despite this, whether or not an acceptable fudge to avoid the incompatibility can be made is now looking much less likely.
Boris is just beginning to realise the pile of codswallop he has sold the public. Now we can force him to eat it, bit by bit. Day by day. In public.
I fear very soon I'm going to be feeling quite sorry for Boris on so many levels. But that's where we are.

He has the sort of personality which suggests he thinks that he can bluster through anything. The only way such people learn is by running against a wall.
