Brexit negotiations and his actions this last week, have had the diametrically opposite impact Boris Johnson will have wanted !
The UK cannot remove part of the withdrawal agreement simply by passing an act of parliament. The withdrawal agreement is an international treaty, not a set of options. Treaties, once agreed, cannot be cherry-picked.
Most obviously it will make a future trade deal nigh impossible – and clearly it's the fault of Britain because it would be Britain that is reneging on a treaty signed only months before.
It will poison relations with Europe for years to come. Given the state of UK relations with China and Russia, it would only leave America as Britain’s sole friend in terms of global power players.
So Bojo and the arch clown Trump are hell bent on bringing both countries to their respective knees by their populist antics ! The problem being this particular "Looking Glass" is mirroring the downfall of both systems with Tweedledee and Tweedledum at their helms.
All of this perversely bodes well for n-Alba ! Since even the numpty fishermen and farmers who previously voted for Scottish Tories will have wakened up to the fact that there is no such animal and the list clowns purporting to be Tories in Holyrood will be looking for a job soon enough !
