Graun seeks foreign aid

More clucking today: Here

Senior Democrats have warned that any attempt by the UK government to backtrack on the Brexit agreement on Northern Ireland would jeopardize a future US-UK free trade deal and could hobble bilateral relations across the board if Joe Biden wins the presidency....Biden, an Irish American, is a staunch defender of the Good Friday Agreement...Kim Darroch, former UK ambassador to Washington, said: “You could have a free trade deal, it could even be negotiated by a Republican president and get blocked in the House of Representatives.”

The Graun would surely want to condemn that as an interfernce in domestic affairs -- no, seemingly not

And here

A claim that Boris Johnson decided to breach international law after the EU had threatened to disrupt food exports from Britain to Northern Ireland has been condemned as “fake news”, amid growing outrage over the prime minister’s plans to renege on the withdrawal agreement.
