  • A manifesto pledge from the Tories to take us out of the ECHR?

    Just sets the current low level conflict with the US to a live issue as the GFA is contingent on continuing membership of the ECHR. I think the Tories are absolutely desperate for Trump, or a Trump analogue to replace Biden in the belief that they'd be A-OK with the UK wrecking the GFA, but my feeling is that that misreads bipartisan support for Ireland.

    I suppose we will see.

  • The Tories are unlikely to be in power when the next president of the US takes office.

    I share that hope, although I do think the Tories are also counting on the senate swinging GOP in November, hamstringing the Biden administration and allowing them to do what they want with no restraint.
