Boris Johnson reopened the Withdrawal Agreement, made it *worse* for the UK, signed it, backed off from what had been agreed, now claims what he signed wasn’t right in the first place. A real details guy pic.twitter.com/XDmMdmpXDJ

This is odd, because I thought it was supposed to be a "fantastic" deal, in which "Brussels had finally admitted defeat", and which had opened a "new chapter in our nation's history". It said so in the Express in January. https://t.co/cwc5VvfRaI https://t.co/R4xOsfopTP

What happened to Boris Johnson's 'oven-ready' Brexit deal that we were told 'was ready to go' when he was seeking re-election? You know – the one that was just like a pie – that could be slammed in an oven…… pic.twitter.com/ifOtodttqQ

“A source close to UK negotiator David Frost said January’s agreement had unfair defects the Government did not have time to fix”
Which government voted that deal through, again? Who was PM? Can’t recall. https://t.co/7LiszfaLYS

1. Johnson signed this “unfair” deal.
2. Johnson presented this deal as a a triumph he had managed to squeeze out of the EU.
3. Johnson described this deal as “oven ready” and it was the entire basis of the “Get Brexit Done” election slogan. /1 pic.twitter.com/unaEutMlSP— John Cotter (@John_Cotter) June 6, 2020

Breaking: Johnson refusing to put the 'oven-ready‘ deal in the oven. Last year‘s stunning victory appears to be this year‘s intolerable humiliation. Hard to keep up. https://t.co/m1U2XUtmfU

Johnson told you he got Brexit done. Now he’s telling you he doesn’t like the Brexit he did.
We’re being governed by a spoilt child. https://t.co/ljKv18LMNI
