At least we won’t have to worry about the Test Match clashing with the Croatia game.

England's top 7 have collectively bagged 18 ducks in 8 Tests in 2021. This is already, halfway through their Test year, the joint second most top-7 ducks they have had in a calendar year. Only in 1998 (27 top-7 ducks in 16 Tests) have they had more. https://bit.ly/3pKByEt

This is the polar opposite of what the PM should be doing. Instead of winding it up, he ought to be using this unique moment, with the key EU leaders in the UK enjoying the exceptional hospitality, to rebuild some trust and create the climate for negotiators to find a solution. https://twitter.com/bethrigby/status/1403699999674966022

Very good point. The longstanding refusal to admit to what it had agreed makes it harder for the Government to articulate what it now wants (or for the EU to trust the UK’s intentions).

David Henig@DavidHenigUK

If the UK government believe there can be *no* checks between GB and Northern Ireland then it should say so and call for a full renegotiation. It has not done so. Instead it is saying legal purism, but hinting no checks, without being clear on goals.

The protocol is both a legal prescriptive text *and* a framework, since it is implemented by Joint Committee decisions which can be amended. The problem with the UK government position is not that it's asking for amendments, but that its tone is contempt for legal obligations. https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1403661246365380609
