Dear @BorisJohnson , There is no better Brexit when it comes to the Good Friday Agreement and Northern Ireland. As you still seem bamboozled by all this Paddywackery here’s a few pointers for your next stab in the dark -

Poor @BorisJohnson Such terrible luck with these Irish Sea border shenanigans. And so unexpected. Not like a border in Ireland versus a border with Britain has ever led to violence in Northern Ireland before. Seems like he’s just done his best. Again.

I am deeply concerned by the scenes of violence in Northern Ireland, especially attacks on PSNI who are protecting the public and businesses, attacks on a bus driver and the assault of a journalist. The way to resolve differences is through dialogue, not violence or criminality.

The border was consistently a war zone for 25 years. Then consistently invisible & peaceful for 20 years thanks to the Good Friday Agreement. The only thing “broadly consistent” here is the total ignorance of, wait for it, a former N Ireland Sec of State. Sweet baby Jesus.

So @BorisJohnson still says he’s building a bridge to N Ireland. He isn’t. What he’s actually building are border control posts at N Ireland ports for goods to and from Britain. Does he think we came up Beaufort’s Dyke in a bubble? Absolute bluffer.

Never been star struck in my life. Until this man turned me to jelly. Back into the 14 yr old boy who cried laughing at his albums on cassette in the car with my Da (see gormless look) Still no idea what I said to…

Quick Life Hack @DominicRaab - when you “haven’t quite understood” how reliant UK trade in goods is on Dover-Calais probably best to resign BEFORE negotiating the Withdrawal Agreement.

THIS IS NOT A REHEARSAL! Next Friday 1 March, the House of Lords will consider an amendment to extend equal marriage to Northern Ireland. The Government is trying to block it. We need your help TODAY - please click link to email Ministers & then RT. ❤️

Used to think Sean Hughes was a God when I brought him on at The Empire. He was. Inspired all us Irish comics to go chase bigger dreams. RIP

No deal means a border poll and potential break up of the Union. If only there was something a chap could sign to prevent that. Like the backstop.

A giant on the pitch. But a bigger man off it. At Shimna College he led the way for Integrated Education in N Ireland. Thanks for showing us the future, Eamonn. Rest In Peace.

Thank you to everyone who today stood up for equality in Northern Ireland - whether for same sex marriage or abortion, today we have said everyone in the UK deserves to be treated as an equal. There’s a road to go yet but today a big step forward #TheNorthISNext #LoveEquality
