I wrote this to make myself feel better, but I may as well share it...life's too short and I'm too old to need to bother about upsetting people.

Anyone with a passing interest in politics will know things are getting choppy. For saddos like me, who've followed things fairly closely since 2016, things have inexorably gone downhill and, in the last 6 months, they've become terminal for Johnson - culminating in this evening's announcement of Frost flouncing out of cabinet due to creative differences. Johnson is wholly unsuited to be a PM...always was....he'll never change.

With the possible exception of Gove (who has other significant defects) Johnson's 3rd rate government ministers are dysfunctional, divisive and grasping lickspittles, any one of whom would be thrown under a bus by Johnson in a heartbeat if it suited him.

Those naïve enough to think of him as an asset, a breath of fresh air, someone doing his best in difficult circumstances, well think a bit deeper next time. Anyone who understood what the deal was but just went along with it for self-advancement, well shame on you.

'Getting Brexit Done' was an inane slogan that could never be made real. We never can or ever will 'get it done' - our modern, JIT, interconnected supply-chain real world just doesn't work like that.

My point?

Whichever way you look at it, despite 50% of us feeling or having been persuaded otherwise, for a modern 21st century UK, Brexit has become, and always was for those of us who made an effort to think it through from the outset, a really REALLY shit idea.
