How long until Gove’s ‘safety net’ that breaks international law becomes ‘the right thing to do’?
Michael Gove: This Site has better pictures but the Spitting Image dummy reflects his shifty personality so well that it is hard to find an excuse not to use it.
Michael Gove is living evidence that you can get further by talking nonsense constantly than by rational behaviour.
He has just said that talks on implementing the EU withdrawal agreement are at a “healthy stage”.
That’s odd, when the EU side is that the UK’s negotiating position is still “far apart from what the EU can accept”.
The issue is the Internal Markets Bill – or at least those parts of it that override the EU withdrawal agreement where it concerns customs borders in Northern Ireland.
The European Commission’s Maros Sefcovic… said there was a “window of opportunity” to come to an agreement on the Northern Ireland protocol, but added that was “rapidly closing”.
And that’s what Gove calls a “healthy stage”!
Mr Sefcovic says the EU wants the UK to remove the “contentious parts” of the bill by the end of September – that’s Wednesday.
He said the EU would “not be shy” in using “legal remedies” written into the withdrawal agreement to address any “violations”.
What do you reckon the chances are that the EU will have to use those remedies – and that when it happens, Gove and the other Tories will say the EU is to blame for the failure of the Withdrawal Agreement?

Looking at the Gove puppet his nose has a slit on the end while his cheeks are definitely scrotal.
