NI-only backstop back in play? That said, even if Tories were united just to get Brexit over the line, who else would push it over 326?

if they get away with it depends in large part on what we do.

probably doesn’t matter whether TonTon voted for Harriet Harman, but it matters in his nearest Tory marginal

Well, the England limited overs cricket captain was. Did he leave out the distinction or something?

Good question put to Johnson in Dublin (to which he gave a non-answer of course):
When you talk about people being dead in ditches, there is a sense that you don’t really understand what is at stake here. When did you last visit the border? Do you still think it is like the border between Camden and Islington?

As far as I have seen it quoted he said "The England cricket captain was born in Dublin". It's not false, exactly, but it's far from accurate either. (I mean it leaves out the captain of the women's team too, as well as the captain of the test team (which I hope is perceived as all as to be the more serious version of the game))
I think you'd be surprised at how many people in ireland know that this isn't right. Even if you know next to nothing about cricket, We know there's a short version and a long version and that they're quite different things, because we only started playing the long version a couple of months ago, and lets just say that first english innings against Ireland didn't pass unnoticed.
In fairness, everything else he said was obviously nonsense. he was about as well received as when Robert Nairac went into a south armagh pub and asked for a "foaming pint of bitter, sure and begorrah."
