Protesters outside the Knesset in a celebratory mood, dancing and singing to mark the ouster of Israel's longest-serving prime minister who was indicted on four corruption charges
This is addictive.

Journalists.
Here's Boris Johnson saying his deal is a great deal and, despite what a government report says, there will be no checks NI-GB or GB-NI.
Please play him this when he next says no-one saw this coming.

Protesters are beginning to gather outside the Knesset to celebrate the ouster of Netanyahu as the new government is sworn in. For the first time since 2009, Netanyahu won't be Israel's PM.
@yankeegirlnj65 @nytmike I think the thatโs the biggest thing. How Trump basically ask for dirt on ppl he didnโt like. And Apple, Google, Microsoft willingly did this. And said nothing.
NEW: DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple for personal info of Trump's then WH counsel Don McGahn and his wife in Feb '18. DOJ barred Apple from telling them at time but 3 years later in May '21 Apple told them. It's unclear what investigation it was related to. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/us/politics/justice-department-apple-donald-mcgahn.html
One last thought from me today (violin is infinitely more enjoyable than Brexit). Johnson & Co's belief that any form of internal trade barrier is incompatible with the existence of sovereignty and territorial integrity must come as a shock to dozens of states around the world...
Johnson's latest dishonest & antagonistic bumblings suggest UK has little intention of respecting international & domestic legal obligations to respect Protocol. But threat to suspend Protocol using Article 16 safeguard clause has (at least) one rather fatal flaw. Here it is:
UK Foreign Secretary openly accuses EU of putting Good Friday Agreement at risk by expecting Protocol to be implemented. Not just inflammatory. Since HMG proposed & signed + Parliament approved that very Protocol, he is in fact admitting that UK plotted to undermine peace in NI.
I wonder whether, when meeting President Biden, the unelected cronycrat David Frost engaged in his usual tactic of both encouraging loyalist agitation over the Protocol and then instrumentalising the consequent threat of violence in an attempt to justify the UK's illegal conduct?
Weird how Frost just wants things in NI to "get back to normal". Sorry, Frost, but your Hard Brexit changed everything for NI and your Great Brexit Deal means there is a new normal - one where NI is segregated from GB. All so you can have your wee trade deals in the Pacific.
A serious question for my UK law colleagues:
By refusing properly to implement the NI Protocol, is HMG acting in breach not only of EU-UK withdrawal agreement as matter of international law; but also of EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 as matter of domestic UK law?
Here's why I wonder:
UK wilfully breaches its clear legal obligations under Johnson's "great Brexit deal". Then cries victim when EU reserves right to appropriate response under Frost's "world beating" EU-UK trade agreement. Note: both treaties endorsed by UK parliament. Global Brigands, more like...
I think there is more chance of Man (or Woman) landing on Neptune in my lifetime, than Macron having said that.
The chances that Macron said N Ireland was not part of UK are close to zero. The chances that Johnson ordered the No 10 spin machine to make it up on his behalf to get round NI broken promises and tomorrowโs humiliation re non-lockdown lifting are closer to 100pc
Johnson denies that the B R E X I T G7 Summit was overshadowed by B R E X I T. ๐คก๐ฉ๐ท

Steve Baker Tory MP on Brexit...(wishful thinking!)
๐Sooner or later, we are going to have to decide if we are content to fumble along like this as a country, imposing severe restrictions that a majority seem to support but which are having devastating consequences on some businesses and some peopleโs mental health. https://twitter.com/telegraph/status/1403974386571530245
Remember: "After the Referendum Johnson said: "British people will still be able to go and work in EU; to live; to travel; to buy homes and to settle down. There will be free trade & access to the Single Market".
A referendum of lies, lies & more lies, a con from end to end.
