Johnson “doesn’t see beyond his immediate desire in any endeavour, whether in private self-indulgence or public policy. As one former cabinet minister puts it: “He’s no chess player. He thinks one move at a time.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Remember that.
One move at a time.
That is not a lawyer’s way where numerous moves ahead is strategy.
“In Johnson’s world, the UK can develop an economic model conceived by people who despise the EU, alongside a foreign policy in which UK-EU relations are unaffected. “
One move at a time.

“In Johnson’s world, the UK can develop an economic model conceived by people who despise the EU, alongside a foreign policy in which UK-EU relations are unaffected. “
“Yet he also seems to think that EU leaders do not notice or do not mind. The prime minister has built a career on crass anti-Brussels caricatures and now imagines he can dissipate ill will by inserting jovial references to “our European friends” in his speeches. He is mistaken”
This is what he hopes. This is what the current turmoil is intended to engender...but only in some. This is why WE must keep clear heads and help our MPs to do so as well.
“Westminster might have lost sight of strategic dilemmas generated by Brexit, but EU leaders have not.”
“Westminster might have lost sight of strategic dilemmas generated by Brexit, but EU leaders have not.”
“Initial hope that the UK might still be accommodated within the broader scope of a European project has given way to anxiety about the emergence of a volatile lone-wolf state on the continent’s doorstep.”
“Brexit was conceived and supported by people who want the EU to fail, yet any UK government that is committed to the rule of law and democracy should want the EU to thrive. That is the irreducible dilemma Britain faces. “
I have been surprised (& encouraged) by the MPs who rise to the challenge .
Not the Grieve’s @hilarybennmp and @YvetteCooperMP
Not @peterkyle and @BenPBradshaw or @DavidLammy and @jessphillips who have been in there from the start.
I salute them

Not even the Ken Clarke’s and @wesstreeting @brigidphillipson @lucianaberger and @ChukaUmunna who have been so doughty and eloquent in all this.
But the @Sandbach @DavidGauke @edvaizey the @AnneMilton and Margot James, Guto Bebbs who have been exiled from their own party.
