Hahahaha. A link to the NY Times and the Independent, simply means you can create links. Johnson has clearly said that May's deal is dead. I suggest you try to learn a bit more about it than what you can find in the now discredited NYT. Top tip for you: Google search results are not in order of reality.
And yeah, I get that you are embarrassed for saying that about Ireland.
The idea that Boris Johnson is going to outwit Putin and Trump is rather humorous.
Of course Boris, whose father is an Economist at the World Bank and European Commision, who won a scholarship to Eton and read Classics (Greek and Latin) at Oxford and who is a fluent speaker of French and Italian, and has a good grasp of German and Spanish isn't bright enough to deal with other world leaders. Johnson's three siblings also attended Oxford and have very good careers.
If you think Boris Johnson is some halfwit then I suggest you think again, because underneath all the friendly banter he is a ruthless politician, who was twice elected Mayor of London, a traditionally liberal city, and has gone from the backbenchers of Parliament to Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister.
Johnson was born in New York's Upper East Side, as his father Stanley having finished his degree at Oxford, was studying for a postgraduate degree at Columbia University in New York, although the fanily later returned to Britain where Stanley went on to do post doctoral research with the London School of Economics, before joining the World Bank and later the European Commission, it was during time in Brussels as a child that Johnson first learned French. Stanley Johnson is now well known writer.

All this trying to 'distant' yourself from the UK and all said in beautiful ENGLISH! lol :-D. For somebody who has 'no interest' in UK politics you ain't half posting on here a lot! Like Dave I also don't believe you have been ANYWHERE near the UK you observations about the British are straight out of 'the big book of national stereotypes'!

I suggest you read a real news source if you don’t think he is attempting to renegotiate, yes Mays proposals never passed, so.

So his a "well known writer" and he was the mayor of London.
Still, I suspect Putin could show him a thing or two about being a "ruthless politician."

Just to add some more facts you conveniently omitted:
1) switched political parties in Oxford because the one he originally joined to was less influential than other. Yeah, you never know who is stronger until you try, correct?
2) After graduating in 1987, Johnson became a trainee reporter with the Times newspaper but was sacked within a year for falsifying a quotation from his godfather Colin Lucas. Well, outright lying is a good trait for politician, no question about that.
3) BoJo did a number on London: He helped make it a haven of the super-rich, then ran a campaign saying "Don't listen to the super-rich in London." No surprises here, switching sides is not betrayal, it's foreseeing
4) Cocaine user: "Asked directly while being interviewed on Radio 4 when he last used the Class A drug, he replied by saying a "single inconclusive event" when he was a teenager". In another interview he said "I think the account of this event when I was 19 has appeared many, many times." Well, let's pretend that 19 is still a "teenager". And, frankly, cocaine use is not even an issue these days for politicians, right?
5) Lied about his affair with Petronella Wyatt and her pregnancy. Was fired from shadow cabinet for the lie. As I said, non-stop lies is a good property of a politician, and so native to any Brit PM.
As I said earlier, I just applaud BoJo - with him UK will go downhill faster. Keep the course, BoJo!
Johnson admitted "he doesn’t have the faintest clue what’s in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade—the very text he’s been using to justify his outlandish Brexit stance."
Recently, he was carrying on about EU's kipper shipping rules. Turns out it's UK not the EU that's behind this nefarious situation.
Should be fascinating watching Johnson BS his way through Brexit.
