Listening to two Brexiteers at loggerheads on LBC makes clear that there will be an almighty mess once the UK starts negotiating the trade deal.
Whatever the consequences, the inevitable demise of the UK will be an immensely entertaining spectacle.

Johnson saying that we can do an FTA within 10 months, because “we’re starting from a position of alignment”.
It’s not the starting position that is the question, it’s the proposed destination that will take far longer than 10 months just within the U.K. to gain agreement on what it is that we actually want.Comment

Labour catching up in the polls, and with the Brexit party attacking the Tories the most likely outcome is a parliament very similar to the current one, and with a speaker very much like Bercow.

Look forward to the shenanigans.
