A man of his word! A deal that he assured us was not only oven-ready but the greatest deal that was ever done, now something so bad that Johnson thinks it is worth discarding our international reputation for.
The question is – if it was so bad why did he sign it???? Why was it considered so brilliant before but now stinks like a sewage farm??? Why is Britain prepared to tarnish its reputation and renege on this agreement??
My conclusion is that these Tories are so arrogant they think they are above the law. We have Cummings and Johnson Snr flouting the law. It seems that the laws only exist for other people – lesser people like us!!! They don’t care about us or what foreigners think. They don’t care about rules or laws. They have no morality!!

A letter from a Guardian reader, 9 September.
I cannot understand why there is not more tangible opposition to the government’s approach to the Brexit negotiations (Brexit: Boris Johnson to override EU withdrawal agreement, 7 September).
During the referendum campaign many frontbench Conservative MPs said that there was no reason for the UK to leave the single market as a result of Brexit; some even said we would definitely stay in it. After the referendum result was announced, that idea was immediately thrown away. During the referendum campaign we were told that a trade deal with the EU would be “one of the easiest trade deals in history”, and yet we are now facing a no-deal Brexit – not, apparently, by default but as a more or less deliberate choice. Instead of having the frictionless trade that was promised, the government is belatedly spending billions of pounds creating lorry parks, recruiting customs officers and installing new IT systems.
Supporters of Brexit accuse “remoaners” of being undemocratic for not accepting the result of the 2016 referendum. But the Brexit being delivered bears no more than a superficial resemblance to that with which voters were wooed in 2016, and there is thus no democratic mandate for it any more than there would be for overturning the original vote.
If the Brexit that was promised turns out to be undeliverable, as I always thought it would, the prime minister should come out and say so, and either offer another referendum or call a general election. To have made those promises in the full knowledge that they would later be broken is an act of the utmost cynicism and dishonesty, and undermines our democracy.

Thanks for that John. I am in total agreement with Matthew from Hove. We were sold a lie and the way it has gone forward with lie upon lie and no sign of compromise is disgusting. The extremists rule the roost!
