Risible rage
FOR sheer entertainment it is hard to beat the hysterical rage from sanctimonious EU cheerleaders claiming Boris Johnson’s Government cannot be trusted.
How they lost their minds as Dominic Cummings asserted that Boris only signed off the dubious Northern Ireland deal to win an election and get Brexit done, cynically hoping to improve it later.
If true, the PM was dead right to do so — given the hideous twin risks in 2019 of a Corbyn Government and Remainers then overturning the Leave vote.
Plus, Brexit is now done.
The Northern Ireland “protocol” is being radically improved, as he hoped.
It is hilarious to hear Ireland’s Leo Varadkar warn the world not to trust Britain — and diehard Remain types screaming that our Government is illegitimate.
Let’s not forget how the EU, which Varadkar apparently considers a paragon of virtue, stole British Covid jabs.
How it ignored or reversed multiple inconvenient referendums — then spent four years trying to do the same to ours by weaponising Northern Ireland’s fragile peace.
And how, even now, its absurdly officious interpretation of the protocol is the biggest threat there.
Its members regularly defy EU laws.
Against that, Boris’s shrewd but steely politicking pales into insignificance.
Besides, who are the morally pure nations Varadkar thinks he’s warning about slippery Brits?
No EU members qualify, obviously. Who then? China? Russia?
Axe this yob
THERE can be no place in our Parliament for suspended Labour MP Claudia Webbe.
The Momentum-backed Corbynite yob threatened to hurl acid over a love rival and could now be jailed.
Even if she isn’t, she should muster the decency to stand down and trigger a by-election.
For years Leicester East voters had to suffer sleazy, scandal-plagued Labour MP Keith Vaz until his suspension.
They deserve far better now than Webbe.
Swizz bang
WHAT a pathetic surrender from London’s Mayor over Covid.
Lockdown scuppered last New Year’s Eve’s firework spectacular.
This year’s is already cancelled, in early October, because of Covid “uncertainties”.
Uncertainties?
The vast majority of us have two jabs.
The event is outside.
Does Sadiq Khan ever intend to stage it again?
He’s the dud sparkler that won’t light.
Star’s trek
HE didn’t get to explore strange new worlds or seek out new life and new civilisations.
But William Shatner did boldly go where no nonagenarian has gone before.
Congrats, Captain Kirk, in space at last. What a blast.
