Quite how anyone ever thought he was fit to be PM remains beyond me. We knew he was a self-serving liar unfit for office, we had plenty of evidence of that. And yet people cared more about the impossible version of Brexit he was selling them for his own gain than they did about decency and reality.
We are now seeing what happens when you point blank refuse to acknowledge reality and tell barefaced lies to people. We are now seeing how dangerous it is to have someone like Johnson running the country. I wouldn't trust him to run a bake sale.
Here he is, clearly pssed, making it up and lying through his teeth as he has throughout his personal, professional and political life
As an international treaty blocked there being a customs border between NI and RoI, then the customs border was always going to be down the Irish Sea whatever this cretin claimed
There was no 'oven ready deal' merely this buffoon desperate to agree to anything to get elected....... as fishermen, farmers, exporters to the EU, UK migrants in Spain and so many others are now finding out to their cost

Dear @BorisJohnson, There is no better Brexit when it comes to the Good Friday Agreement and Northern Ireland. As you still seem bamboozled by all this Paddywackery here’s a few pointers for your next stab in the dark - https://t.co/3E0T9MKm28

It isnt as though he wasn't warned

Indeed. The issue was known about for years. It ultimately did for May in the end, when she realised the red lines she'd created - which put her right up there with Cameron and Johnson in the awful PM stakes - meant that there either needed to be a customs border in the Irish Sea or on the island of Ireland, she realised she'd painted herself into a corner. She at least tried to come up with a solution that wouldn't lead to such a border, but the hard Brexiteers and DUP weren't having it.
Johnson simply pretended it wasn't an issue, despite all evidence to the contrary, and a compliant media and a Tory party purged of any dissent, coupled with fractured and useless opposition, meant that he was allowed to peddle his delusion without much scrutiny. Now we have a border in the Irish Sea that he still refuses to acknowledge despite it very much being there, and significant unrest in Northern Ireland. All very predictable.

it really has been a case of watching an unavoidable disaster unfold in slow motion
In the author's interview with Alan Duncan he thinks that Johnson enjoyed becoming PM more than being PM. With the help of a friendly press and useless opposition he'll bumble on for a while then take up a lucrative appointment somewhere leaving his successor to clear up the mess.
