A broken promise

Brexit.

I know, know.

But I have been keeping an eye on events, and today Johnson has blinked.

Or so it seems.

A series of ministers, leader of the ERG and the DUP have gone into Number 10 for meetings, with rumours of there being a customs border in the Irish Sea.

You may remember May and Johnson saying this is something a UK Prime Minister could never agree too. And yet both did, and it seems the NI only backstop is back on the table.

Though, whether this is true remains to be seen, as both Johnson and May have a habit of saying one thing in meetings to the EU then another to domestic political allies. The legal text will be revealing.

But if this is the case, then the last 18 months has been a complete waste of time, as the UK goes back to, largely, May's WA.

But hearing with other details coming out, it also succeeds in having a part that all sides will dislike. But will all sides swallow the bitter pill to allow the WA to be agreed?

And remember, this is not Brexit. This just means that the Articles of the EU no longer apply to the UK, and the UK enters a transition agreement with the EU, which I think will be pretty much never ending, as the UK, politically, doesn't really know what it wants.
