The question as to whether the Withdrawal Agreement genuinely is problematic as described by IDS because it is only contained within a Sun article is entirely irrelevant and misses the point. I'd go further to say that it is clutching at straws to try and defend the indefensible. But in summary, IDS is moaning about liabilities related to loans that would have been given by the EIB whilst the UK was still a member of the European Union. The scale of those liabilities will depend on the levels of defaults on loans made through the EIB and European Financial Stability Mechanism.
The story here though is that IDS championed the negotiating skills of Johnson and the massive victory the WA represented, voted against proper scrutiny of the WA (his party kicking out anybody that dared to suggest it might be a good idea to scrutinise it properly) and then went on a camapign to tell us all that this was an 'oven ready' deal that would sail through to completion if people voted for the Tory party. On that basis they secured a massive majority and now, it turns out, he hadn't read it properly, it wasn't 'oven ready' given that it was only ever a Withdrawal Agreement and not a trade agreement and in any event it isn't such a great deal after all. The biggest problem though is that it's not just this cretin but most of them. This is the most corrupt government for generations and people still defend them. It beggars belief.
