Did Johnson get to deliver the immortal line:

Liz Truss is the new Brexit negotiator.
She isn’t even a brexiter.
Boris will be out within weeks as the 1922 committee will have a fit of the vapours.

June 2016: Just days before the Brexit vote, Ms Truss tweeted: “Leave cannot name one country we would get a better trade deal with if we left the EU.”
She's had a change of heart since, bless...

Probably thinking of the salary?

Deliberate poison chalice or Johnson’s genuine belief she’s the best person for the job?
It's a bit of an odd one, Truss is already Foreign Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities.
You'd have thought that each of those would full time enough, without slinging the full time Brexit negotiator on top of it.

Given the importance this Gov have pretended to attach to Global Britain and Brexit, I'm not sure what they're playing at, saying that, nor do they.

Good morning,

Given my view that BJ's whole political approach is to make a decision based on the wind direction and then leave others to deal with the consequences I feel that Liz Truss is a good choice.

Despite his denial at the time the "Sea Border" was always part of the deal and accepting it allowed him to sign off BrExit as a big public issue in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

If this means NI becoming part of a united Ireland, that's fine and as long as the Loyalist community doesn't start much violence. As far as I can tell most people in GB don't really care about NI being part of the UK or not, so if the UK was to become GB and Ireland and Eire reunited then most people would be happy or indifferent.

Liz could be very good at creating a situation where both sides stop trying to find a real solution and are happy with the situation as it is now and just go thru the motions of trying to solve the problem.

The longer that negotiations drag on the more that businesses in NI will become used to the new circumstances and simply drop the difficult to obtain products replacing them with more easy to obtain ones. So in five or ten years time NI and Eire will be so alike that many young people won't be able to tell them apart on a day to day basis and the problem just becomes an oddity that affects a handful of business. Any politicians talking about wanting to be tied to Westminster rather than Dublin will start to look like cute old grandpa who wants to go back the dark ages, he's old so we will smile and nod in agreement.

Bye

Ian

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
Truss predicted that no country would give us a better trade deal and she's managed to demonstrate that prediction to a reasonable standard, so you'd have to conclude that she's doing a pretty good job.
