It's an obvious fact, but it needs to be said:
A brexit that Boris Johnson openly says he needs to break the law to fix, and which Tory Brexiteers are quitting their jobs in protest against, would never have won in the 2016 referendum.
"If you #VoteLeave on 23 June, I'll step back and let a remainer handle it for 3yrs, condemn a deal she rejects then use it when I'm PM. After 4yrs of social unrest, I'll promise to end the chaos in an election then break international law to try keep control of Northern Ireland"
Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
