O acordo pronto para o forno Boris Johnson prometeu que estava pronto para "fazer o Brexit" em 2019 foi, claramente, mal cozido. IS. Ele cumpriu nenhum desses três testes. A maioria dos deputados conservadores apoiou o acordo; E que Keir Starmer confirmou o apoio dos trabalhos para as novas propostas, então é justo supor que, ou não, o Brexit foi feito. É sua maior conquista desde que ele entrou no número 10.
As Rishi Sunak outlined his ‘Windsor Framework’ agreement with the EU in the Commons on Monday, you could have been forgiven for thinking that the prime minister was in a different party to that of his predecessor – and maybe he is.
Sunak laid out a litany of flaws in the agreement that Johnson and Brexit negotiator-in-chief Lord Frost had done with Europe three years ago, and laid bare the folly of the disgraced former PMs claims that he would deliver for the DUP, for Ireland, and for the Union. He delivered on none of those three tests.
In doing so, Sunak also dropped the bill going through parliament that would have put the UK on course for a trade war with the EU, and potentially alienated those on his backbenches who are reasonably described as ‘Brexit fanatics.’ I haven’t read through the detail of the Windsor Agreement yet – but it seems to be pissing off all the right people.
Given that the majority of Conservative MPs have backed the deal; and that Keir Starmer has confirmed Labours support for the new proposals, then it is fair to assume that, ERG or DUP opposition or not, Brexit has – at last – been done.
That this is a triumph for Sunak and his government cannot be denied. It is his biggest achievement since he entered Number 10.
, no entanto, é um acordo que pode não apenas provocar problemas para ele internamente - mas também que os que apoiaram o norte da Irladora do Northern, o que o Northern, o New), que o apoio do Northern. A Irlanda é - de acordo com Sunak - o melhor lugar do planeta para investir - ter acesso aberto ao mercado do Reino Unido e ao mercado único da EUS. Os irlandeses também se beneficiam da liberdade de movimento.
On the back of the new settlement Northern Ireland is – according to Sunak – the best place on the planet to invest in – having open access to both the UK market and the EUs single market. The Irish also benefit from Freedom of Movement.
That, of course, was the privileged position the rest of the UK held before Boris and his chums, aided and abetted by Sunak, persuaded the majority of the English to rip those benefits up.
Acesso ao mercado único da Irlanda, uma fronteira sem atrito e um relacionamento muito mais cordial com nossos vizinhos europeus proporcionará uma relação comercial muito mais progressiva e positiva entre o Reino Unido e a UE. E agora é, certamente, apenas uma questão de tempo antes do envolvimento para todo o Reino Unido no mercado único e, de fato, a união aduaneira é inevitável. Ah, isso mesmo - Boris queria ser 'rei do mundo'.
It does make you wonder what all the economic pain and political chaos was for. Ah, that’s right – Boris wanted to be ‘King of the World’.
