There was an Irish dramatised version of the book, Liam Liar, written by dramatist Hugh Leonard which tells the tale of a lazy, wildly inventive, daydreamer with an inability to tell the truth. It is a pity Mr Leonard is no longer with us because he might have been tempted to write Boris Liar and relocate the drama to 10 Downing Street, the residence of the UK prime minister. The one constant in Boris Johnson’s professional life has been telling lies. It is shocking but not surprising that Johnson is playing politics with Northern Ireland on Brexit. Our Brexit negotiators need to keep that in mind when dealing with Boris Liar.
