The UK’s new PM Boris Johnston today steamrolled over Brexit’s
Irish Backstop. It didn’t go down well with EU negotiators. Ten weeks to go to
the next deadline, “This will be the final deadline” we have been told and
still they can’t work it out.

One reaction to Johnston's “Steamer” (slang) as reported in
the Daily Telegraph came from an EU diplomat who said:
“Three years on and still this letter fails to put forward
any realistic alternatives for the backstop. Hope and imagination don’t keep
the border away.
“This letter is not a request to renegotiate - it’s a
clear-cut attempt to avoid it all cost.
“If the British government was serious it would just ask the
EU to trust them. Because if they did the EU would have to look at it.”
TRUST! Now
there’s a word for the political classes to digest.
“Trust in Me!
Trust in Me!!
It’s Not Lying...
I am only Trying...
Trust in Me.
Trust in Me!”
Trust in Me!!
It’s Not Lying...
I am only Trying...
Trust in Me.
Trust in Me!”
