But whether you shared my friend's feeling or not, he was admirably clear-sighted: Brexit would cost something. Unfortunately, that's not how Brexit was advertised to UK voters. They were told that Brexit would mean "more" when obviously it had to mean "less." — PolitiTweet.org

He said, about Britain and the European Union: "We have governed ourselves for a very long time. We're good at it. And if it costs something to govern ourselves again, it's worth it." The argument touched me at the time, and it still does. — PolitiTweet.org

British politics since Brexit is a process of waking up to the reality of "less" when voters thought they had signed up for "more." Liz Truss tried to exit the conundrum by blasting Britain to growth with tax cuts. Rishi Sunak is accepting the conundrum by belt-tightening. — PolitiTweet.org
