It is a beast. That's the honest truth of it. You can ignore it. You can write pieces about how we should all pretend the beast is not in the room and come back together as a country.” politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/05/…
“You can urge people to look at how the beast has attractive ears, if you look at them in the right light, and try not to notice the claws or the great big slavering canines.”
“You can stubbornly insist that people voted for the beast and refuse to pay attention to how it is ominously peering down at you. It doesn't matter. The beast remains a beast and eventually it'll eat you alive.”
Every outcome leads to doom. Brexit is a beast. It will trundle over political careers like they were ants beneath its talons.
There are only two options for the next Tory leader:
“Either cancel Brexit, which they will not do, or be honest with people about what it entails, which they will not do either. “
“So the same thing will happen again, to someone else, in a slightly different way. And it'll keep on happening, until there is someone brave enough to say the thing that is so glaringly obvious: This is all a terrible mistake.”
