To this day many commentators here in the UK and around the world are still trying to assess Brexit with questions that assume there is some logic; that there is a rational way to explain it. Stop trying: Brexit is an ideology; logic and reason don’t apply.

Hence its cult-like—just think of lines like “no price it too high”. Underpinned by populism and lies that continue to this day, Brexit has revealed how quickly established political norms can disappear. Recent attempts to rewrite the Brexit narrative continue that.

Iit’s always someone else who is responsible; never the architects of Brexit. It will be interesting to see what happens from January when reality will bite, whether there is a deal or not. /end
