Irony is Dead. Again.

I haven't blogged much about wither Brexit or COVID recently. Although I have still been following both.

So much has happened over the last three or four weeks with Brexit and the Government, I can't hope to catch up.

But.

At the end of May's term as PM, there was a strong Brexit feeling and chant of "let's go, WTO", as if a no deal Brexit held no fears.

Well, it is more than ironic at the current PM's ethics advosor, Lord Geidt, resigned today after it emerged that after being issued with a FPN by the Met and withering critism from Sue Grey in her report, and Johnson's claim to have been left humbled, Johnson enquired whether it would be OK for him to green light a plan to levy tariffs against WTO rules, on steel from China.

Apparently.

This is after the Conservative Party receved rather a lot of cash from the head of Tata Steel.

Geidt pointed out that it was the overarching point of the Ministerial Code to obey national and international laws, which this plan clearly did not.

So, Johnson has now lost a second ethics advosor.

Which is more than careless.

Johnson promised to change. Some decided to believe him.

He was never going to change.

On top of that, this week a Bill to allow UK Monisters to disapply most of the NIP was published.

This breaks international law and is against the WA, the NIP and TCA. But is another dead cat to divert from "partygate" and all the other stuff that is going wrong in the UK now.

This Government is now so rotten, those on the ISS can smell it as they pass over.
