EU diplomats wake up with a sore head after a number of political grenades from Westminster.
As regards the domestic legislation affecting the Irish Protocol , Ireland's Foreign Minister Simon Coveney tweeted that would be "a very unwise way for the government to proceed".
Because, say EU figures, if the Frost interview, the legislation leak and the prime minister's words were all designed as a negotiating tactic, to put pressure on the EU, then it was a terrible tactic, they insist, as it simply serves to "raise European hackles".Some in the EU think the government's intended audience was actually ardent Brexiters.
Pushing him away from such a deal: strong opposition from Brexiter Conservative MPs, concerns over ceding post-Brexit sovereignty and remaining tied to Brussels apron strings.
