Any experts at reading between the lines?

I was under the clear misapprehension that the UK government both negotiated and signed the very deal they are now struggling with.

1. We have dug ourselves into a very deep hole.
2. We don't have any good ideas about how to get out of the hole.
3. "The sooner the EU is able to find new solutions" - Will someone please get us out of this hole.
4. I never wanted to be Northern Ireland Secretary in the first place. I wanted one of the other Cabinet jobs.

Exactly. At least on 1 to 3... : - )

And despite what Frost says we're not about to renegotiate or abandon the NIP.

Which leads neatly into what's now happening in Northern Ireland:

What does the Treaty of Vienna have to say about crossing your fingers behind your back while you're signing... ?

:lol: . It proved good for a laugh :lol: . I can recall pointing out to a certain individual the cost and practical implications of their BREXIT vote. The concept that somehow voting to leave the EU ,might, somehow, effect their life had never crossed their mind :lol:

But never mind; do you know the EU are now causing problems for people wanting to go on holiday to EU countries :shock: . And it's just because "England" has left the EU :shock: .

It's the Boris Johnson Protocol, he is the one who championed and signed it.
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

It is indeed the Johnson protocol:
The whole mess has his prints all over it, built upon lies with no intention of ever keeping his word.

Anyone who has even casually followed his career recognises all his classic traits. It’s very very simple, the man is a serial liar with no sense of honour and with the help of the UK media enough of the Great British voting public have deemed that the party who chose him as their leader is the one for them.

Desperate times, even some of the Clarion are denouncing socialism.

I never voted for the buffoon, nor wanted him anywhere near being PM, let alone being an MP.

I'm a Socialist at heart, but I still remain someone who never wanted us in the Union of Europe in the first place.
nothing to do with Tory/Labour/Anyone.

Poots has resigned after 21 days.

This is dangerously unstable.

Was the political situation there stable with him as leader? I agree with you about "dangerously unstable" but I think it's been like that for some time and his becoming leader didn't help anything.
