In normal diplomatic terms the US have made their position clear on Northern Ireland. They expect the UK government to be more constructive, and believe we are in the wrong. But Johnson with his poor grasp of diplomacy may ignore it.

Your equally occasional reminder that the NI protocol was only necessary because *Boris Johnson* needed to demonise the backstop so he could oust Theresa May and become Prime Minister. This is all on him. Personally.

The EU did not insist on a border in the Irish Sea, did not force the UK to sign up to it, did not make the government campaign for it. The very least the government could do is accept they were warned of the consequences and went ahead anyway.

I wonder whether, when meeting President Biden, the unelected cronycrat David Frost engaged in his usual tactic of both encouraging loyalist agitation over the Protocol and then instrumentalising the consequent threat of violence in an attempt to justify the UK's illegal conduct?
