Laughter and forgetting with Liz as she prepares to break Brexit deal | John Crace

Foreign secretary in the Commons to introduce second reading of the Northern Ireland protocol bill

It's just over six years since years the UK voted to leave the EU. Now, I'm not quite sure back then how you thought the country might look in 2022 but I'd put money on you not imagining a prime minister capable of interpreting two disastrous byelections as a mandate to carry on for two further terms. If only The Convict had lost a few more byelections, then he could have nominated himself as president for life.

But say you did make the right calls on Boris Johnson's World King" ambitions, surely no one would have dreamed that the UK would be busy trying to break the Brexit treaty it had signed just over two years previously. That was a level of incompetence and stupidity that was surely beyond even the derelicts who were left to make up The Rwanda Panda's cabinet? Satire not just dead, but completely incinerated.
