Lord Frost & Co. might note the Irish Maritime Development Office statistics showing record levels of RoRo traffic at Belfast port for Q2 2021. Reports that trade is being hampered by the Northern Ireland Protocol may not in fact be accurate. #Brexit. pic.twitter.com/ufyfCB7BKB

It's unfair on everyone, but especially to people in NI. The worry and uncertainty of this on top of the pandemic seems cruel.

Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party is corrupt, dodgy, sleazy and on the take. https://t.co/IBiaMg10b5
I’m no media consultant. But the phrase “Make Brexit Work” is never going to happen. Starmer needs to stop. There’s no universe where Brexit works. Try a catch phrase like: “I suppose we better get on with it” or “This sucks, what can we can do about it?”. Something believable.

If you argue that Brexit is so inherently and foundationally bad that no one could "make it work" then you are effectively letting the government off the hook for every implementation decision they've made in the last four years except notifying Article 50.

Not sure that's wise.
If only there was some way of knowing why Boris Johnson is so keen to destroy the Parliamentary standards committee. pic.twitter.com/7hGC3jaHob

Never let it be forgotten that over the two days that the Tories were engulfed in the biggest parliamentary sleaze scandal for almost 30 years, these are the stories @TheSun chose to lead with.

If you investigate a Tory MP and find him guilty of sleaze your reward may be the sack. (Just in case you were wondering why the police show so little interest in corruption in procurement.) pic.twitter.com/u9h950VetF

Owen Paterson 'steps aside' from advisor jobs for Randox Laboratories and Lynn's Country foods within hours of quitting as an MP. It's almost as if his advice is worthless unless he's a serving MP, able to lobby on their behalf. #TorySleaze #ToryCorruptionhttps://t.co/3gMfsstzsy

Johnson smuggled out government’s latest attempt to water down requirements to reduce untreated sewage late on Friday, hoping people wouldn’t notice over the weekend before the key Commons debate on Monday. Same tactic as they used on Owen Paterson. https://t.co/8CnT53F6X4

This is likely on the Republican side of polling distribution, but not only does it show Biden approval down to 38%, but Harris (28%) & congressional Dems (29) are worse, BBB is only at 47-44%, Biden v Trump is at 40-44%, & generic ballot is at 36-48%!https://t.co/ILVMapEpa8

The same people defending Aaron Rodgers as a ‘free thinker’, were the first ones to vilify Colin Kaepernick for his freedom of speech. I wonder what the difference is…
