💥Hearing some alarming Brexit rumours tonight.

Sources suggest Govt looking to rewrite NI protocol.
Would use domestic legislation to override deal signed by PM last year.
Illegal, but would also blow up trade talks, which presumably some in Govt wld be quite happy about.
the rumour is that this is the prelude to a No Deal announcement later in the week https://t.co/gEU9HEROff

Just a month ago, Michael Gove visited NI and set out funding for the system created by the govt as a result of the NI protocol… 👇

Our top priority is to preserve the huge gains from the peace process and the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, as well as protecting Northern Ireland’s place in our United Kingdom.

Arlene Foster says that she has given up on trying to stop a trade border in the Irish Sea and will help put that border in place. Other unionist leaders urge her to keep resisting it – even if that involves destabilising Stormont.https://t.co/CMVSVYMufy

The problem is that @BorisJohnson promised to remove the UK from the EU "whole and entire" – but it has become clear that his Northern Irish 'frontstop' does not do that to the satisfaction of Brexiters.

If David Frost & Boris Johnson plan deliberately to breach the UK’s international agreements

So it looks like Boris Johnson can’t be trusted to keep his word on the BREXIT agreement he signed less than a year ago

“Johnson may well go down in history as the prime minister who not just oversaw one of the world’s worst Covid-19 death rates, or took Britain out of the EU in a damaging Brexit, but who paved the way for the dissolution of the union.” Observer. @BorisJohnson #dominiccummings

In his autobiography, Lou Brock, recalling how he asked a young man he thought was a clubhouse aide for a Coke before the 1967 All-Star Game: "He hesitated for a moment but then went and got the Coke and said, 'You're Lou Brock, aren't you?
