Essentially Boris will be told he will have to lower his expectations to get Brexit. Its not bad advise but I can't see Boris taking it in. I suspect he foolishly believes his solid numbers in the polls are due to his genius rather than the fact that pretty much anybody would be beating Corbyn in his role. I reckon Cummings loves this culture wars ****e, but Boris isn't as shrewd as Trump was when it comes to exploiting it. He also does not have the numbers to get away with it either in the house.
Senior ministers expect EU power brokers - lead by Germany’s Angela Merkel - to offer the embattled Tory leader a last minute compromise, such as a three year time limit on the backstop.

Literally all parliament has tried to do for 3 years is deal with Brexit. It's an extremely complicated, never mind pointless, thing to try and do. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is indeed a complete moron. You can still want to leave the EU while recognising how difficult it is.

Tell me how wrote: » I understand your position but I think it is too simplistic while certainly being the case for some people. Some just want to see the establishment get a kicking and the thought of that smarmy pr*ck off the telly (whoever they might be) losing is enough for them to pledge their allegiance to the other side. But, I am in the US at the moment and have had numerous conversations with people who both support Trump, and have extensive education, professional and life experiences which disqualifies them from being considered morons. I still disagree with their logic, but they speak equally passionately about how manipulative the left is in demeaning the right and that they are sick of either being ignored or treated like idiots. It's being point out to me that Fox News is the sole Network standing up to the liberal rhetoric of CNN, ABC, MSNBC etc. So, if you ask them to show you an example of 'state media' ignoring reality and trying to support a candidate, they are going to bring a clip from someone other than Fox to the table, and they will believe it as strongly as some of us look at Fox and think it is criminal what they do.

I was thoroughly dismayed, however, to see her colleague Neil Coyle totally lose his head in a twitter spat with Piers Morgan. Not only does it give the right wingers an easy excuse to resort to whatabouttery, but the likes of Morgan are just not worth it. The Michelle Obama stay high doctrine should be indelibly branded into all their souls.

This is the nucleus of the two largest populist moves in recent years. Trump and Brexit, both using shady tactics to appeal to people and using a lot of rhetoric applying that they are against the establishment which has ridden roughshod over people for so long. And it worked, for both of them. I don't believe that 50% +/- 5% of the populations of both countries are morons but they are passionately in support of both initiatives (Trump/Brexit) which, to my mind absolutely flys in the face of logic and reason. But they aren't sitting anywhere this evening thinking their position doesn't make sense, they feel as strongly about it as we do. That is the fascinating part of it. And just trying to overcome or change the situation by saying they are wrong is actually strengthening them. Why wouldn't it.
