Jeremy Hunt today: “The political damage of no Brexit would be more than the economic damage of No-Deal”. In other words, he is telling ppl already nursing a sense of grievance that they are right & if they don’t get their way they’re entitled to throw their toys out of the pram.
Is stoking a sense of betrayal in an already polarised society what a responsible political leader should be doing? Rhetorical, don’t @ me
(NB - not specifically singling out Hunt here: virtually the entire Conservative party and a lot of Labour MPs guilty of this: all who say “stopping Brexit would destroy trust in politics”. The responsible alternative would be to say: “we don’t actually have to do this”.)
