EU reaction to the changes in the Northern Ireland Protocol - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " EU Commission threatens 'proportionate actions' over UK government plans to override part of post-Brexit deal..Boris Johnson earlier called his government's proposed changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol "trivial" and "not a big deal".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is an overreaction by the EU, it is typical of them, they still cannot get the FACT that the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016 and did so after the 2019 Election.  The UK House of Commons has the final say.  There will be those on the LEFT who expect the 140 Conservative MPs who voted no confidence in the PM to come out against the new changes.  That would be a mistaken view, the Conservative MPs voted in secret, and voting to support the EU will not go down well with its local associations, and if Tory rebels are thinking of rebelling the PM should state its a confidence vote in the Government, in other words you are voting to bring down the Government. MPs on the whole do not putting their political careers on the line, and the vote will be recorded, so they cannot hide, if some do rebel they can be thrown out of the Party, and not allowed to stand as a Conservative MP in the 2024 General Election or when the PM decides to call the election, the Conservative Government removed the Fixed Parliament Act, thus the power is in the hands of the PM.  The UK voter does not have much time for the EU, thus a TRADE WAR, is what the PM could need to unite the Party and force MPs back in to line.   

Severodonetsk Update - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in it 11.44am post the following, " What makes the battle for Severodonetsk so important?....Severodonetsk, and its twin city, Lysychansk, form an important regional and industrial focal point in the Luhansk region.....Capturing the twin cities would give Russia control of the entire Luhansk region  "

Lets Get Real:

If POTUS wants to run in 2024 he better get his head out of the sand when it comes to East Ukraine, he has already lost Afghanistan to the Taliban and in the process got 13 US military service personnel killed.  If Putin's Kremlin takes the South East Ukraine and absorbs it in to Russia then Biden can kiss goodbye to 2024 and the Democrats holding the Congress this November.  The US Defence Department needs to send billions of more arms and weapons, even the heavy stuff, long range missiles otherwise the Ukraine will be split, the West will have to deal with a BROKEN Country and help rebuild it, while the the Kremlin tries to destroy what is left of the Ukraine.  Thus political and moral action go hand in hand, POTUS must ACT and FAST or he and the Democratic Party are toast. One does hope that the Biden political staff in the White House know something about international politics and the consequences of FAILURE, they should have a word with Jimmy Carter, the failed President that none of his successors wanted to be, a one term President.  In that One term club have been Hoover, Carter, Bush 43 and Trump.  It should be noted that LBJ did five years, becoming President on the death of JFK in November 1963,  and winning in 1964 but deciding not to run in 1968 due to the Vietnam War, Nixon won a 2nd term in 1972 but resigned in 1974 due to Watergate, Gerald Ford become President after the resignation of Nixon, going down to defeat in 1976 to Jimmy Carter.  The second set of Presidents can be seen as failures, that no one wants to follow. 

Iran CLOSE to getting the BOMB - Middle East - Biden's other problem - Iran

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Iran is 'dangerously' close to completing its Nuclear weapons programme, Israeli prime minister Bennett warns "

Lets Get Real:

This is a new warning from the new Israeli PM, Israel has made it clear that it cannot allow IRAN to get the bomb, it will take action, as it did in 1981 with Iraq and 2007 with Syria.  A nuclear armed Iran is a threat to the existence of the Jewish State of Israel.  Thus one hopes the Biden Oval is keeping a close eye on Iran, it also has to deal with the WAR in Ukraine, the Biden Oval cannot allow Russia to win in the Donbas, if they do Putin Kremlin will absorb the South East of Ukraine in to Russia, and then what happens, the WAR goes on and there is a chance that Russia could threaten other EU or NATO States.  Thus Biden has three tricky problems to deal with, all could cause WORLD WAR 3. At least Iran, North Korea and China have not formed an alliance, what if North Korea has another illegal nuclear test, Iran gets the bomb and China try's to take over Taiwan, ALL at the same TIME, it would be a nightmare for the Biden Oval. 

Are the Northern Ireland Protocol CHANGES LEGAL ? - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Legislation to override Northern Ireland Protocol is within the law, Brandon Lewis insists - as opponents brand move 'disgraceful'....Brandon Lewis defended the proposals as the government prepares to publish legislation on Monday despite growing concern about the legalities of the move.  "

Lets Get Real:

The sole interest of this blog is that the UNION of the UK works, if the House of Commons agrees to these changes, see previous post, then that is LAW, the international consequences does not bother this blog.  This is the reason that the UK voted in 2016 to leave the EU, the House of Commons will decide this, not some lawyers that the lefts always picks, and not the UK Court, the UK Courts have gotten out of hand, they should follow UK LAW, not make law up as they do in the United States, see posts on abortion.  This is a chance to preserve the Union of the UK and Northern Ireland, the consequences on the World Stage be dammed.  If the changes is gains the approval of the people of the province and gets the Unionists back in to the Northern Ireland Assembly so let it be.  The Labour Party and the those in the Opposition are more interested in bowing down to the  EU, PM Boris does not, that is the reason he won in 2019. 

Northern Ireland Protocol Update - Monday - After Brexit

My favourite subject, Brexit and its consequences:

BBC News: Reports " New legislation to change post-Brexit trade arrangements will not break international law, the Northern Ireland secretary has said.....The UK government is due to publish legislation on Monday that would allow ministers to override parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the PM Boris is finally taking on the thorny issue of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the UK Government has simplified the problem, ALL goods going to the Northern Ireland will not face any paperwork, it would be easy to send bread from London to Manchester, those that want their products to enter the EU will have to go through the EU process and paperwork, it is simple and everyone knows were they stand.  The move will force those that oppose the PM to come out in the open, and the PM can withdraw the WHIP, that means they cannot stand as a Conservative MP in their seat, they can stand as a Independent, let's see how many of those brave MPs who opposed the PM in the No confidence vote actually vote to end their political careers.  Of course the WET REMAINERS, will have to vote against, thus the same result, they get thrown out of the Party.  It will be in the lows tens, they still want to be a MPs after 2024.   10 Downing Street needs a tough CHIEF WHIP, who puts the fear of God in MPs, high or low.  

Biden's OTHER CRISIS, Iran - Biden Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " US Secretary of State Tony Blinken said Thursday that it will "further complicate" efforts to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal if Iran removes cameras that monitor its nuclear program and could lead to "a deepening nuclear crisis and further economic and political isolation for Iran."  "

Lets Get Real:

What is it with this Administration when it comes to Iran, the Tehran Regime wants it nuke, they see that the US has done nothing when it comes to North Korea and has not sent NATO troops in to the Ukraine.  The appeasers in the Biden Administration have been seeking a renewed Obama Deal, it was BAD DEAL then, its even a worse deal NOW.  One can assume that Tehran has enough nuclear material to make the BOMB, that is a nuclear bomb.  One assumes that if they have the bomb or are close to getting the bomb, then ISRAEL will ACT, it will not wait for Biden to wake up.  A nuclear armed Iran, is a THREAT to Israel, thus one expects either that Biden and Allies do something or ISRAEL will act on its own.  The US, Israel, and Gulf Allies see a nuclear armed Iran as a THREAT, one can be sure that if Iran gets the bomb, Saudi Arabia will spend the trillions it has on developing in its own bomb or buy one on the black market.  Thus Biden has a choice, if the US attacks Iran, then Tehran might not react, yes some missile attacks on Iraq and other US bases but not ALL OUT WAR, if Israel has to act, then Tehran might start a regional WAR, do we really want to see the gas prices then.  It is time for Biden to be a REAL POTUS and act and take the responsibility, he has to be the new Truman, he has to act for US and World Security. 

The Northern Ireland Protocol Update - After Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " The Prime Minister is facing pressure from Tory backbenchers to harden up legislation to override parts of the Brexit deal.....Boris Johnson held a secret meeting with a representative of the European Research Group of Brexiteer Tory MPs on Tuesday night.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has to grab the thorny issue of the Northern Ireland protocol, the DUP will not go in to Government with the Nationalists if the protocol is still about, and that is a THREAT to the Good Friday Agreement.  The most import document that matters is the Good Friday Agreement not the North Ireland Protocol.  On the whole one expects Conservative MPs to support the reforms as stated by the Johnson Government, there will be THOSE that want to bend the knee to the EU, well this is the time to show them up, and make it a 3 line whip, if Conservative MPs do not vote for it they should have the WHIP removed.  This means that they are no longer part of the Conservative Party and cannot stand in 2024 or put in letters of no confidence in the PM.  The malcontents should be made to vote against things they agree with just to see who really is LOYAL.  This un loyal can be binned as not really Conservatives, they might find a better home with the Liberal Democrats.  Or they could form their own Party, that has been tried, it FAILED.  This is the time for the PM to be cunning and ruthless and win.
