We wouldn't have ended up with Boris as PM at all if too many MPs on all sides hadn't made it their primary aim to frustrate Brexit. The now largely unemployed Uber-Remainer MPs need to own the monster they helped to create as much as I do.
Two responses spring to mind:
1 - when you believe something is so stupid and obviously self-damaging as Brexit, it's extremely difficult to shrug your shoulders and say "Oh well, let's make the best of it".
2 - where the whole of Parliament went wrong was going for the election in December 2019. Boris trying to run a minority government was the best thing for Britain, would have exposed him sooner as the charlatan that he is and would have led (in the end) to a more intelligent approach in negotiating the beneficial Brexit that some people believed was possible, indeed expected. Every single opposition party failed to see what was screamingly obvious to we ordinary folks, that Boris would win by a mile.
The irony of all of this is we have the fastest growing economy in the G7.
Whilst the after work drinks ( I love some people’s definition of party, they must be dull) was stupefying incompetence by Martin Reynolds and the tories there are bigger issues on the horizon that need resolving.
There is little talent in Westminster these days (across all parties). Anyone setting up a new centrist party Could be onto a winner.
Well that is a horrible misuse of statistics.
