Taking back control of our borders

Brexit has happened.

You wouldn't believe it listening to the bleating of the ERG and gammon Leavers, but it is true, we have left the EU in terms of politics and economic and tax policy.

No one can undo that.

For many years, perhaps generations.

Rational people are just trying to get the Brexit we have, work.

Apart from those who actually chose and in one case, negotiated the actual deal, now complain about it.

"Lord" David Frost spoke in the Lords yesterday where he is somehow a member. And he outined four issues he has with the current Brexit deal. I will focus on one he mentioned.

That of the NI Protcol, and the fact that he and Johnson never meant to honour it, but to collapse it to negotiate somethig "better".

I have writting long about what is called bad faith, and negotiating an international treaty without the intion of adiding by its terms is just about the perfect definition of bad faith there is.

Had they have done that, then that would make the UK untrustworthy, on an international level, trying to negotiate a new treaty when it broke the previous one.

Good luck with that.

With Brexit, Sunak has not been perfect, but has been quietly fixing one or two small issues, like the UK rejoining Horizon, and generally engaged in constructive talks that deliver results and trust with the EU.

On top of that, today the Daily Express reported that French police go to bars and clubs in Calais when they're not on duty, rather than rounding up migrants in their spare time.

Thing is, Brexit or not UK, or Britain, has to reply on other countries to police their side of the border. It was ever thus, and I have said so many times.

When we were a member state, we could send back those who did not have a valid claim to stay, but Lord Frost failed to negotiate something similar to the Dublin Agreement with his wonderful Brexit deal, and so they stay here.

So, in delivering Brexit to take control of our borders, we have in fact, lost more control of our borders.

Wow, what else could the Brexiteers have got wrong?
