How Sunak (finally) Defeated Johnson and the Brexiteers

Last week, Sunak passed his Windsor Framework through Parliament to address the issues created by the Northern Ireland agreement. So has the Prime Minister finally succeeded in quashing any Brexiteer rebellions on his backbenches and got Brexit done?

It so laughable the state of UK politics when a conservative PM is said to have “beaten the Brexiteers” by finalising Brexit 😂🤦

[nathanlonghair]

Election slogan: “We finally succeeded at this thing that we instigated and kept failing at and gave no one else the chance to try”

[Ivytheherbert]

I like the way we've decided that Johnson was Sunak's predecessor, not the other one!

A Brexiteer beats Brexiteers by getting Brexit done
Checks out

[SevenEllen]

If all the Tories can boast is that they're 'not completely useless' (Just 99% useless) and that they 'get Brexit done' (whatever the hell that even means) after how many YEARS of losing fights with it, then that is a seriously poor thing to boast.

Sunak has achieved more by taking an EU idea and developing it through cooperation. While the DUP are resisting the return to Stormont, he has failed because Brexiters were warned of instability in NI.

[stevensteptoe]

Remember that Sunak is a Brexiteer, and voted for it. It's a different head on the same snake.

Get brexi done is really get brexit undone. Little by little the UK gov will have to make deals with EU to make the economy get back to its feet

[andreasottohansen]

Ah yes, "we succeeded at the thing that we fucked up in the first place"
What a win

[JayJay]

The funniest thing about this whole deal was seeing the DUP squirm and throw a tantrum 😂

As a foreigner (none EU citizen safely living in Europe already for 10 years, never have attempted to get a tourist visa to visit the UK), I love how much I get to learn/understand -about the whole Brexit situation- on this channel, including from the comment section! Thanks, everyone!

I remain unclear how TLDR can say that the Northern Ireland issue is resolved when the DUP has not indicated it will go back into power sharing. Representing everything is resolved where there is no functioning government in Northern Ireland seems like an odd position to adopt.

[mdhazeldine]

Are we seriously calling this "success" now? If this is success, I don't want it.

[robduncan]

But isn't Sunak a Brexiter? Just a different Brexit? Brexshite?

[maartenaalsmeer]

For all those "get Brexit done!" shouters: Brexit = Britain exiting the EU. That's DONE. UK is out of the EU, out of the single market. The only thing that's NOT done is the UK fixing all those problems they created themselves(!) by leaving the EU.

[davidk]

Boris is a spent force now but lets be honest Sunak has nothing going for him either. He is effectively holding the fort until the next GE.

[Damariobros]

As an American who desperately would love to move to an EU country, I don't understand why the UK wants to leave the EU in the first place

[Jermbot]

Let's not give Rishi all the credits, the Conservatives' abysmal poll numbers did the bulk of the work in getting the Conservatives in line.

Meanwhile Johnson couldn't be happier since now he can keep telling the Brexit true believers that all of the consequences of Brexit are really just because "they're unable to take advantage of Brexit."

[SkippingHellPHX]

I like how we are calling Johnson Sunak's predecessor and just completely ignoring the dumpster fire that was Liz Truss like she was season 4 of Community. 🤣

The Windsor agreement was just an administrative tweak to the protocol, not a change to the treaty. Yes he got a very small part of brexit done. There is still work to do. And this whole agreement gets renegotiated in a couple of years. So don’t worry there will be plenty of brexit topics for videos.
