Boris Johnson's cake delusion

When Boris Johnson became Foreign Secretary shortly after the referendum, he promised that Britain would get a great deal with the EU after Brexit, “of huge value, possibly greater value” than being a member of the EU.

It’s been confirmed by both the Prime Minister, Theresa May, and the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, that the choice now is either ‘the deal’, ‘no deal ‘or ‘no Brexit’.

Labour's fantasy Brexit

On BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Labour’s Shadow Brexit Secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, claimed that Britain could be in the EU Customs Union and still be free to negotiate its own trade agreements with other countries around the world.

Britain's cake delusion

Britain – or at least Britain’s leading politicians – have a serious cake problem. They think it’s possible to eat the cake and keep the cake and then eat the cake and keep the cake, and so on forever and ever.
