Joe Biden accuses Boris Johnson of ‘inflaming’ Irish tensions

President Biden ordered US officials to issue Boris Johnson with an extraordinary diplomatic rebuke for imperilling the Northern Ireland peace process over Brexit, The Times can reveal.

Yael Lempert, America’s most senior diplomat in Britain, told Lord Frost, the Brexit minister, at a meeting that the government was “inflaming” tensions in Ireland and Europe with its opposition to checks at ports in the province.

In a move described as “unprecedented” by the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Lempert said she had been told to take the step of issuing London with a demarche, a formal diplomatic reprimand seldom exchanged between allies.

That would be implying Johnson cares about it though.

This is the only satisfaction we can get out of Brexit, isn't it? Watching these unspeakable morons reap what they sowed.

At least there's plenty of it to go around!

Northern Irish businesses are nicking trade from GB ones. That's cool.

The referendum was 5 years ago today. :toot:

And the only benefit so far has been the "Strong Britain, Great Nation" song.

Disgraceful. There are zero extra costs to O2 for a UK customer using their phones on the EU.
