Furious Brexiteers slammed the bloc over its actions concerning the “abominable and despicable” Northern Ireland Protocol. It has effectively kept the province in the EU’s single market – creating an ongoing spat between Downing Street and Brussels.

With tense negotiations ongoing, Express.co.uk readers urged the PM not to capitulate.

PT19 raged: “All he needs to do is what we voted for in the first place.

“Scrap the WA (withdrawal agreement, the T&C (Trade and Cooperation) agreement, the abominable and despicable NI protocol and take the country out of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights).

“Then we are rid of the EU. That’s what ‘Leave the European Union’ meant.”

Jenniffer Garcia wrote: “ We need people with vision and determination to take control of this situation – after years of living under what was, in all but name, a dictatorship where every decision was made for our country by others, it seems those in power are reluctant to take control of our own destiny…

Mac123 said: “You’re poor and you have no money. France must be poorer.

“You haven’t the money to travel. UK biggest spenders in Spain.

“You’ve got no jobs. UK has lots of jobs. Something some EU members can only dream of.

“We are laughing at you. No, you’re crying. Crying because your EuroDream is disappearing up its own b-side.

“Rule Britannia! God Save The Queen.”

Mac123 added: “Have you ever noticed that the EUroJokes will defend France only because it is a member of the EU.

“Even though France’s economy is smaller than the UK’s, that they have severe problems with integration, so bad that people risk their lives fleeing the country.

“Better to mock a country that is doing better than 26 of the 27 countries in the EU. And we’re not paying for it!

“Remind me how many people are unemployed in the EU and what their youth unemployment is like?”

Sterling77a said: “Pompous and jealous EU.”

Philip M1 added: “We don’t need the cesspit EU.

The taxilady commented: “He’s NOT wrong. We need to be fully and irreversibly OUT.”

They backed called by prominent Brexiteer Lord Hannan, who blasted the agreement for “pulverising Northern Ireland’s power-sharing institutions”.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, he claimed Whitehall has “every incentive to misapply the Protocol”.

Lord Hannan described the current EU position as “insane”.

He also warned Mr Johnson that if he fails to “get Brexit done” and bows down to the EU on this important matter of UK constitution, his survival in Number 10 could be short-lived.
