Rishi Sunak said the quiet part out loud – and ‘Colin from Portsmouth’ had questions
With all the excitement of agreeing a new Northern Ireland Brexit deal and probably condemning Boris Johnson to the back benches for the foreseeable future, Rishi Sunak let his mouth get ahead of his brain – effectively rubbishing Brexit.
Absolutely F*****G INCREDIBLE!
Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market…

Isn’t it funny that when the entire UK had access to the EU single market it made us a “vassal state”, but now that Northern Ireland have it, they are in a “unique”, “special” and “privileged” position. #BrexitDisaster

We made NI a unique place for investment… by ensuring the rest of the UK can’t be. pic.twitter.com/TtwgFgloNP

BREAKING: Rishi Sunak has explained his new Brexit deal is brilliant because Northern Ireland gets all the benefits of the single market and Tory MPs keep all the benefits of tax avoidance. It's a best of both words x

Anthony Richardson and Mark Davison – The Exploding Heads – let us know what their concerned listener, Colin from Portsmouth, thought of it all.
📞"How come Northern Ireland has access to the single market and the rest of the country doesn't?🇬🇧"
"This is the EU jealous of Brexit and punishing us for it, while Woke King Charles stands and smiles!😡"

Sunak says Northern Ireland are fortunate to have access to the single market, so why, why, why haven’t we in Britain got that?.
Good question, Colin. Good question.
The sketch landed perfectly with tweeters.

Reality might have been a little too close for comfort.
Absolutely hilarious and terrifyingly accurate – as always!

Love to the family.
