The spokesman added: "Solutions could not be found through the existing mechanisms of the protocol. That was why we had set out proposals for significant changes to it.

"There is a huge opportunity to find reasonable, practical solutions to the difficulties facing people and businesses in Northern Ireland, and thereby to put the relationship between the UK and the EU on a better footing.

"We didn't expect the EU to take such a purist or maximalist approach… we've not called for the scrapping of the protocol at this time."

This is like when a guy breaks up with his girlfriend, and she agrees and goes about her life, then he comes crawling back when he hasn’t found anybody else to have sex with and wants to “talk about terms.“

Who could've thought that implementing the Cummings fan fiction with a bunch of backstabbing cunts was not a good basis for government.

A swaggering warlord with an affinity for booze and hookers — who once allegedly ordered a soldier accused of stealing to be flattened by a tank — has reportedly vowed to lead the fight against the marauding Taliban in Afghanistan.

“This time I will really kill you!” declared Abdul Rashid Dostum, a 67-year-old militia leader and former Afghan vice president who has just returned from medical treatment in Turkey, the Sun reported.

Also reports that the Taliban is cutting off the power to Kabul. US troops will be in place 'by sunday' .   :wut

Biden was right that it wouldn't be like Vietnam. They're on course to do the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Saigon and Benghazi speedrun  :kermit

Biden has send 5000 troops and US has asked Taliban to hold off their advance into the Capitol until they are evacuated.

Taliban have now apparently cut power to the city completely and have already reached the outskirts of the city

Not sure who the idiot was that closed Bagram first but now Kabul is completely surrounded and cut off and the Taliban are closing in on the airfield.
Once they take it, there's no way out for the coalition troops and citizens there.

Rumors circling that the government is already negotiating the surrender of the city with the Taliban.
Dostum and his allies say there was a conspiracy to hand the country to the Taliban

People try to crawl on planes to GTFO. Taliban is already executing folks who worked for 'the enemy'.

Biden is overseeing the biggest disaster in NATO history.

US troops now shooting fleeing citizens in the legs to prevent them from breaking the perimeter.

https://twitter.com/syedalisherazi5/status/1427025141297557505

Taliban once again outsmarts everyone, as the people fled to the airport they set-up checkpoints behind them.
If they can't leave they drive back straight into the hands of the Taliban.

I wonder why the taliban won  :doge
NATO spend billions on soldiers that didn't want to fight or knew why they had to fight in Afghanistan to raise and teach an army to defend Afghanistan.

And now the powers that be have retroactively decided that is not what the money was for in the first place.
