Brexit always made more sense as a protest position for a rabble of Tory backbenchers. As an actual policy it is a disaster. The EU has always been a whipping boy for mendacious national politicians, not the real problem. David Davis' resignation proves this.
So now the govt wants my vote to get this absolute calamity of a policy through. Are you having a laugh?
With Boris out, the govt is on the ropes. And so is Brexit. The Tory soap opera has gone on too long.
Don't let anyone fool you, Boris Johnson and David Davis are not principled. They are the two cowardly captains who take the first lifeboat to safety, as the rest of Britain continues full-steam ahead into the oncoming iceberg of Brexit.
Ultimately, it is the govt which has responsibility for this shipwreck. Outside of reshuffles, this is the first time two cabinet ministers have quit within 24 hours of each other since 1979. Gaping holes in the cabinet cannot be plugged by meaningless platitudes.
