Surely Rees Mogg is the only person who thinks themselves clever enough to do the job. Or is he just all about sniping from the sidelines at no risk to himself?

They all much prefer to snipe from the sidelines. They've never moved on from campaigning.

Exactly, that oddly reminded me of Trump who even though he won hasn't moved on from the sidelines and continues to carp about everyone else even though he holds all the power. Must be the sociopath victim mentality

Long read, but brilliantly explains why the victim mentality and a need for an enemy is both so deep seated and attractive to Brexiters. In short, they never got over winning the war, and now the referendum.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/nov/16/brexit-paranoid-fantasy-fintan-otoole …

In other words precisely like the Orwellian hate figure that occurs in every demagogue run administration. It allows them to blame all problems on "the other". Keeps the people under control via "patriotism" and gives a sense of the common enemy bringing people together
-
Yes, it keeps the sense of their own superiority intact too. Those are dangerous ideas if they did get into power. See Trump and what he does to migrants. It's a small step to fascism if these ideas are actually acted upon. As Michael Rosen said, fascism arrives as your friend.pic.twitter.com/oQZLbxWc5P

"The day after we vote we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want." We need the guy who said this. Oh, he just ran away.

It's almost like the whole Brexit thing was about a bunch of self-serving posh boys undeservedly assuming the mantle of victimhood in order to further their own interests.

I’ve waited nearly two years for one of them to put forward a credible detailed plan. They can’t because they haven’t got one.

At least Baldrick always told you when he had a plan?
