Former Downing St insider: Brexit now rests on who tells the best story

摘要

What’s remarkable about Brexit is that so much changes on a day-by-day basis, while at thesame time so little actually changes.Here we are, the week after the big deadline that wasn’t really a deadline, with MPs takingcontrol of events only to agree on nothing, shock interventions from the Speaker and TheresaMay’s deal taking a third thumping - and yet the Mexican stand-off continues.Brexit is still uncertain, the delay keeps rolling on, the Europeans are still flabbergasted atWestminster politics, the Tories are still split, ministers are still resigning, Jeremy Corbyn is stillflirting with a second referendum but not-so-secretly hoping for a general election instead, andthe PM is still planning to bring her deal back for a fourth time, in the hopes that fear of thealternatives will eventually bring refuseniks into line.
