@sarah_ironside @MaireadMcGMEP Charles Moore should heed the old saying kettle and pot. The telegraph who he writes for is the most bias newspaper I have read.

Charles Moore shames all decent British people. His joy at the notion that Ireland will suffer is despicable. Well done @MaireadMcGMEP for standing up to him as a voice of reason for Ireland and EU27
