The country is on an absolute knife edge. The single biggest political decision since WWII, rests it seems with a chancer who doesn't want a job he well knows he's not fit for. He knows ND is a catastrophe. The entire cabinet knows. Their advisors know. 👇
So it comes down to this. He signs the thinnest of deals (requiring) a 'pause' extension, and Labour votes to pass Parliament - and watches the Red Wall Brexiteers and the Brexit nutters eat themselves, or he crashes the country he claims to love into an abyss
Dantes inferno. The higher levels. The results of ND are incalculable, and he well knows unconscionable. He has a decision to make. A decision he was always going to have to make. One that has no good outcome for him. He's trapped.
And the country (whichever way you voted on the EU) pays the price. This will cost billions, and take decades for us to recover from. #Brexit was never deliverable from May's red lines onwards. It was a project, an ideology, a scheme to de-regulate the economy
save billionaire Tory donors tax, and drag us kicking and screaming back to a time of yore that only ever existed in the minds of a xenophobic few. Anyway....Johnson spins the coin. He rolls the dice with his eyes closed. We all pay the bill.
As I said on the night of the GE, Johnson will be the 3rd PM to be hoisted out of number 10 over #Brexit. And it wouldn't be long before another GE. And I don't think it will be.
