Stoking fights with the EU is part of the election strategy too... the question is is it a dangerous one - that depends how the EU respond
A thank you to Brexiteers.

Given the U.K. is dependent on electricity coming in via interconnectors from the EU, it’s probably not the wisest fight to pick during an energy crisis.

old post
exactly to Tory plan then - ignore the border, scrap the protocol, force the EU's hand, the EUs only choice is to go down the court>sanction route.
tories get to blame the EU, the question becomes what the sanctions will be, and how that might escalate.
....this all gets ramped up in the future when the UK diverges on standards.
Have to hand it to the Tories though, they've managed to find a way to resolve the impossibility of their situation by driving a bulldozer through legal obligations. I guess the signs were always there....

We've got one carrier with few planes, some destroyers that keep blacking out and not enough crew for the entire navy.

Unfortunately we're all likely to run out of gas at the very moment he gets around to it.
(and, of course, the old thing about sticking your head in a gas oven was far more effective when it was was coal gas rather than that new-fangled "natural" stuff we've been using for nearly 50 years now...)

A lot of brexiteers said they need us more than we need them, so those brexiteers are perfectly at ease if energy does not come into the UK from the Republic of Ireland, France or any other EU country.
It would hurt us all if those supplies are cut off, but maybe well worth it to suffer if Brexit voters suffer too. Possibly only practical reality will make Brexit voters realise the damage they have done and continue to do, and then maybe the tide might turn.

Nah. They will blame the EU and accuse remain voters of using too much energy.

The EU will lose its war with Poland and prove we were right to leave
Poland has quietly been building one of the most successful economies in the world and Brussels will not be able to push it around

"The EU will lose its war with Poland and prove we were right to leave," says a Telegraph columnist.
But, embarrassingly, he gets the name of the Polish PM completely wrong, names the wrong court, and makes typos throughout.
