I’m sure it will haunt him for the rest of his days, if only because it’s completely trashed his legacy.
How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

I think he's one of those interviewed in Putin vs the West (BB2 this evening), but I've been struck by how low a profile he's kept. Seven years come June, and he's about as likely to raise his head in Libya.

Greensill lobbying pretty much finished him as a public face, didn't it?

And that shift will only intensify as the fallout from Brexit becomes the everyday struggles of more and more people (and the exploitation of their misery by the wealthy elite that partly pushed to leave becomes more and more apparent).
Unfortunately, for the truly brainwashed, even their own significant suffering won’t be enough to make them admit they were duped and have been manipulated since.
And I don’t think a majority of people that voted to leave, regardless if they eventual realise the folly of doing so, will ever admit that many did it from a place of racism, xenophobia, and/or bitterness.
So many before—and even more after—were manipulated in to fighting the fake culture war whilst their real wealth and agency are slowly being stripped away.

My constituency is in 4th place in the green table!
Some guy representing Guinness on the radio.
Seemingly Guinness biggest selling draught drink in the UK for the first time ever, 1 in 9 bought are now Guinness.
Apart from advertising, pricing etc he said that Brexit has been particularly favourable to them but has disadvantaged many of their other European competitors.

I always said the gentrification of Burton Road would end in trouble.
First guy made an important point: we can now recruit who we need from all over the world instead of jobs being taken primarily from Europeans under free movement.
Me personally - I think one good thing about Brexit is this: for 40 years our government(s) could blame their cock-ups on the EU, but now we are out they can't and have to take ownership of the absolute sh1t-show that Britain is in 2023.

so far pro-Brexiteers want it sorting out but agree "it" means different things to different folk and seem unable to define the version of "it" they wanted - sums Leave up
Ukraine will be in before we rejoin.

It's a fucking disaster.
This was depressing, not least the section on divergence. The EU has banned a food additive but we haven't, so all the food with it in can't be sold to the EU.

Jaega Wise finds out how Brexit is working out for food producers, three years on.
The Brexit Party guy's got a cheek. The main parties haven't delivered on the will of the people, then reminded us that the choice was Remain or Leave, and we left. Then reckons the Act of Union is broken by the NI Protocol, but oblivious to why the Protocol was needed.

Andrea Leadsom as dumb as ever - this is peak Brexit and BBC pro-Brexit broadcasting when the BBC thought putting former head of the WTO Pascal Lamy and for "balance" the Beeb insisted on Brexit believer ( but non-expert ) Leadsom to argue with Lamy on world trade - have a listen and see who you think about who the expert is. This is the thing that maqde James O'Brien walk away from the BBC for its obvious bias

Conservative Party chief executive and treasurer dragged into tax dodging row
Tory treasurer Graham Edwards was found to have used a tax avoidance scheme, while the party's chief executive Stephen Massey still works for a firm that helps the rich slash their tax bills

The most recent speaker echos my view: it is a generational thing. We can't expect to see benefit after a few months or a few years but in 20 or 30 years time we will probably accept it was the right thing to do.
