It was reported last week that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak does not believe ‘Brexit’ to be “in peril”. What an intriguing notion.

The only thing that ‘imperils’ this misguided geopolitical choice is its own manifest failings and contradictions. After all this time, those who promoted the UK’s exit from the EU cannot point with honesty to anything positive it has generated, or anything negative that has been forestalled because of ‘Brexit’.

To be clear ‘Brexit’ was never going to mean nothing positive was ever going to happen again in the UK. This was a misrepresentation of the position of those who wished to stay within the EU.

But nor was the bar for ‘Brexit’ success supposed to be a ‘business as usual’ situation where positive things that would have happened anyway might still take place, but typically with more complexity and costs involved due to our leaving the EU.
