Not really news is it. Why wouldn’t he support the good Friday agreement. It would be news if he didn’t.

It's news if we can't find a way to reconcile Brexit with it.

But that hasn’t happened yet. Both sides currently repeatedly express a wish to preserve the good Friday agreement. Neither side has yet said they want to rip it up.

The Tories want to change the Brexit agreement though. Which has major implications for the GFA.

The Tories don't say they will rip up the GFA, but their actions majorly threaten it.

It’s all bluster and fluster, just like all the fishing crap at present. There’ll be an agreement reached, then we’ll go round in circles again when that one doesn’t work. Even if you rip up the brexit agreement, the GFA is still there. It’s only if one side installs a hard border that it prevents the GFA from working.

The Tories' only strategy these days is to bullshit and bluster until they get the headlines they're after: "Gladiator Boris Won't Back Down to EU Bullies!!"

Eventually, a pathetic compromise will be made as quietly as possible and snuck through without most people noticing.

It'd be hilarious if it would only harm 56% of Cornwall.

Dispatches: Did Brexit Work For Business?

Harry Wallop reports on the impact that leaving the EU has had on Britain's import and export businesses, many of whom are struggling with increased costs, new tariffs and dwindling profits. The programme examines the evidence for whether the rising costs of EU trade are here to stay or simply bumps along the road.

8:30 tonight on Channel 4, All4 thereafter.

The Amazon Visa Credit card thing seems to be Brexit related.

It's more down to the fees that Visa charge from what I can tell. Kroger in America stopped taking Visa Credit Cards due to fees a while ago as well. Would likely have happened regardless of Brexit.

The EU put limits on charges that now don't apply to us due to Brexit. Visa used it as an excuse to whack charges up.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.
