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.”

The Brexit deal
The United Kingdom and European Union have reached a post-Brexit trade agreement after many months of negotiations. The no-deal Brexit that many expected and some feared has been avoided.
I lack the knowledge to evaluate either the deal or a no-deal scenario. Instead, I’ll present for consideration the views of the estimable Melanie Phillips.
She’s delighted, above all, that the UK is finally free of the EU. I know enough to understand her delight.
Phillips writes:
Maybe in due course some buried horrors will emerge. But at present, it does look as if Boris Johnson really has delivered his country from the grip of the EU and restored its ability to govern itself as an independent nation.
