1640725080098349057 | @tconnellyRTE Unsurprising; the UK has shown that it cannot be trusted, e.g. when Johnson signed up to a GB-NI border, promptly denied he had done any such thing, and tried to worm his way out of it by breaking international law. It will take decades for the UK to earn back the loss of trust. | 40 |
