SO now we know the secrets of Del Boy Davis’s success at the negotiating table. He stays calm. Well I for one would love a bottle of whatever he is on to keep him this calm, because anyone in their right mind would be stressed beyond belief at the mess the negotiations he is supposedly leading are in.

He also says one doesn’t need to be clever to do his job. Oh really Dave? That statement I believe, but when you factor in the fact that you are lazy, shoddy and ill-prepared, then the UK public should be very afraid of you leading the Brexit charge. The icing on the cake is that with the other lazy, shoddy etc trio of Johnson, Gove and Fox, the whole fiasco is going to hell in a hand cart.

SO, David Davis reckons his Irish border legality issue was misinterpreted by the press, and that what he really meant has been accepted by Leo Varadkar, the Irish Republic Taoiseach. In which case may I make the suggestion that Davis was not selected as the Brexit Secretary for his knowledge or negotiating skills, but that his suitability was down to the fact that he is not really very clever and that he knows very little.
