uddenly, as the UK teeters on the edge of a no-deal Brexit – a calamity Boris Johnson promised would never happen – it is all the rage to blame Remain supporters for our plight.
If only pro-EU MPs had backed the deal that Theresa May secured, instead of joining the millions who marched for a fresh referendum last year, all would be well – or so we are told.
This is unfair on so many levels – it is a basic principle that those who break it should mend it – but, more important, it is an illusion to believe the May agreement offered salvation.
