Thanks for the interesting read Nick.

Just to clarify: when you say the Benn Act was null and void, despite being repealed after the trade agreement was reached - that's not because it was repealed but because it had already done what it was supposed to do and secured an extension for negotiations to take place? And because Johnson could, if he'd wished, have extended those negotiations - or ended them - thanks to his majority and regardless of the existence of the Benn Act. Have I understood that correctly?

Thanks for putting the “Ireland problem” in quotes. As we all know, it's a British or more accurately an English problem.

Likewise, the "Irish border" should also be in quotes. That is really the British border in Ireland.
