Brexiters are waking up to the damage they’ve done
on Brexit schadenfreude
“Expect a lot more shocked Brexiters to discover what they have done, the Brexit cabinet itself is on a steep learning curve. Here’s one Telegraph columnist: ‘We Brexiters are being blamed for the problems we warned about. In reality, the fault lies squarely with the government and poor planning.’ Oh the schadenfreude! That’s a sharp U-turn from the Telegraph’s too-eager 1 January report from the Dover front: ‘Chaos? What chaos?’ As Brexiters turn on each other, Brexit politics move fast. Until now the Tories planned to move on, only reviving ‘Brexit done’ triumphalism to re-arouse the captured red wall at the election: Labour just wanted to bury the whole issue. But the scale of the eruptions bursting out in one sector after another requires the opposition to find its footing on this tricky terrain.”
