Stanley Johnson, experienced ex-EU official, sounding like he’s never been to Brussels and learnt everything he knows about Brexit from reading his son’s garbage in the Telegraph. What happened to these people? #newsnight
Extraordinary that experienced and clever people still think you can have a ‘standstill transition’ without a withdrawal agreement. It simply beggars belief that they can’t understand something so basic. It’s like Brexit has turned their brains into mush.
Close second is ‘put the backstop into negotiations’. The whole point of it was that it shouldn’t be contingent on future negotiations BECAUSE IT’S A BACKSTOP. Again, this argument is so obscenely stupid you want to give people the benefit of the doubt by assuming it’s malevolent
In any case, what kind of unquestioning exceptionalism assumes EU will give way NOW, AFTER THREE YEARS? Is it because you’re replacing a woman with a narcissistic moron who once literally compared them to Hitler? Will HE convince them to surrender their political advantage? Dire.
This is the ruling class of England. People who never bothered to listen, gave way to jingoistic mania and unlearned everything that once made them rational or competent. This country is going to hell and it’s going to be televised until we all die.
