BORIS’S CORNISH PASTING: Start Your Week with Alex Andreou

Whatever the triumphalist G7 headlines, the “Sausage War” fiasco left Global Britain looking as shifty, isolated and untrustworthy as its Prime Minister. How will the intractable Northern Ireland Protocol issue shake out? Plus unlocking gets put back (to nobody’s surprise), birth pangs for new regimes in Israel and Northern Ireland, and what will Friday’s England-Scotland fixture in the Euros mean for both countries’ nationalist leaders? Alex Andreou lays it all out. 

• “The EU will create some sort of fudge on Northern Ireland where it gets 99% of what it wants. And Britain will claim that as a victory.”

• “The sceptics think that ‘learning to live with COVID’ means going back to exactly the way things were before. And it doesn’t.”

• “Football is the only occasion where it is universally okay to be nationalist.”
