"Angela Merkel has said that Britain will have to “live with the consequences” of Boris Johnson’s decision to ditch Theresa May’s plans for close alignment with the European Union after Brexit."

In other words, UK has made its' bed and must now lie in it!!

NO MORE UNICORNS!
This assessment on UK failure to honour agreements made in relation to future relationship and trade agreement, with EU, is not news - but, the realistic outcome of pig-headed stubborn Brexiteers, stubbornly clinging to fantasies not based in reality, nor history!
"Her comments came as the regular European Social Survey by City University London found that 56.8 per cent of Britons would now vote to remain in or rejoin the EU, compared to just 34.9 per cent who would vote to leave – "
"...the equivalent of a commanding 62-38 split once non-voters are removed. This compared to a much closer 50-44 split in the same survey around the time of the 2016 referendum."

The UK Government does NOT represent the people of the UK - NO mandate for 'no-deal' Brexit!
"Meanwhile, a separate survey by pollsters Ipsos Mori found a majority (62 per cent) think it is “likely” the UK will leave the EU on 31 December without a trade deal, compared to just 30 per cent who think Mr Johnson will get a deal by the deadline – "
"...and 25 per cent who think he can get a deal which is good for Britain."

"Almost half (49 per cent) were dissatisfied with Mr Johnson’s handling of Brexit, compared to 38 per cent who were satisfied."

Frankly, "the people" deserve a chance to express their views on Brexit!

"The pound sterling has behaved more like the volatile currency of a developing country over the past four years since the Brexit referendum vote, according to an analysis by foreign exchange traders."

"Ministers have been accused of playing down the gravity of the coronavirus pandemic after it emerged that more than 1,000 people died every day in the UK for 22 consecutive days – in stark contrast with daily tolls announced by the government."
"According to an analysis of official figures, the darkest day came on 8 April as the country prepared for Easter under lockdown, when a record 1,445 people died from Covid-19 in 24 hours."
"The figures – encompassing deaths in hospitals, care homes and private residences – are far higher than the numbers announced by ministers during that period at the daily Downing Street briefings, as the pandemic peaked faster than forecast."

"Britain is in a lonely place right now. It resembles the scene of a bad traffic accident where shocked passers-by look away with pity and horror in their eyes. Alarmed by what they see, governments around the world practise their own form of social distancing."
"Once again, Britain is the sick man of Europe."

It didn't have to be this way...if only...Tory UK Governments had listened to "the people" instead of telling "the people" what they should think...

...and not least, pursuing Brexit based upon a corrupt and illegal mandate!
"The view of Britain as Europe’s “problem child” predates the pandemic but has been greatly reinforced by it."

"Many people who lived through the last war - or whose parents have vivid recollections of it - will tell you that they are infuriated by any suggestion that our present emergency is anywhere near comparable to that experience."
"No, our lives now are nothing like theirs in terms of either scarcity of food and comfort, or actual danger."

Yet, we face perhaps greater uncertainty and dangers than any could ever have imagined during the Wars.

Wars are self-inflicted and enemies have physical form!
There are dangers in viewing and misinterpreting historic events through the lens of contemporary life as we know it today.

Individuals are influenced by contemporary societal norms, values and threats; tangible or simply perceived.
