After my chats with my Brexit voting family & friends at the weekend I discovered something both comforting & horrifying. They’re no longer remotely interested in brexit. Some of them don’t even know we’re leaving on the 31st. A soft Brexit is thus a distinct possibility.

5/ In 2024 will voters really vote Farage to demand a “proper Brexit” 4 years after we’ve actually left? I can’t see it. So what Johnson needs is a positive economic case to win the 2024 election - a brexit that didn’t cause the pain the “remainers said would happen”.

6/ What does Boris Johnson like? Big bridges that never get built, flags, commemorative coins, Big Ben & pretty young girls. What is he not known for? Complex policy discussions, long term principle before short term fun, personal sacrifice. Johnson’s Brexit will be a show.

7/ The thing about Brexit that many don’t get is that to do a “proper Brexit” is a national project requiring decades of costs, effort & debate. I doubt more than 10% of leavers actually want this. They want brexit “done”. Preferably by August. They don’t want change or costs..

8/ Johnson may be a liar. He may be lazy but he’s no fool. You don’t get to be Conservative PM by confusing 60year old home owning Tory voters with revolutionaries. He’ll want the path of least resistance Brexit & if that stuffs the DUP or ERG he’ll happy screw them.

Unfortunately Nick, "soft as possible" will still result in us being outside of the Single Market, along with the loss of rights that it brings.

That was my question too - it may be his plan to be “soft Brexit” but unless he drops his FoM removal plans that means outside the single market, and then thousands of SME suddenly having to do customs checks they didn’t before and associated jams at the ports of no prep done

Cut to: Leavers: “I told you Brexit would be painless!” Remainders: “but they didn’t do Brexit properly!”

Indeed. & if this is the case 90% of people will simply not be interested in that debate. Johnson wins.
