1. The possibility that Brexit might break up the United
Kingdom has generally been seen as unfortunate collateral damage if Theresa May
is foolish enough to take us out of the EU, but perhaps detaching England (and
possibly Wales) from the troublesome Scots and Northern Irish who do not vote Conservative, is the real Tory project?
Labour would find it very hard to win a majority in the resulting rump
state of Little England, so however bad a UK break-up might be for the rest of us, it would be good for the Tories.
2. Michael ‘back-stabber’ Gove has partially backed down on his ‘I’ve had
enough of experts’ stance. Even Gove seems to have realised that getting a randomly selected passenger to fly the aircraft instead of
the pilot isn’t a great idea.
So now he’s retreated to: ‘we’ve had enough of economists’.
Presumably because none of them has a good word for Brexit. Apparently we
should all do a detailed examination of the hundreds of pages of complex evidence
on which the economists' conclusions are based, and then make up our own minds. So what percentage of Brexit voters have
assured you they are prepared to do that, Michael?
