This is a good article but it’s not “squeaky bum time” or any other matey football metaphor. It is a serious supply chain crisis that is the deliberate consequence of the Government’s choices, and which voters in the referendum were told would not happen. twitter.com/Joe_Mayes/stat…
The fact that the Government was elected and its leading members won a referendum makes it worse not better because the prospectus they sold was clearly false. The next few months are an accountability moment – and the UK political/media system needs to step up to it.
As we’re seeing in the US, Hungary and Poland, political systems are not broken by individual actions, they are broken when systems don’t defend themselves by delivering accountability for damaging actions.
