'Today is the starter’s pistol of a trace of hope for rescuing a dead deal. A new momentum which could find a way for Britain to leave the European Union one day.' Opinion | MartinRJay
It all ended in tears. And in many ways, Theresa May’s emotional departure was very much a significant display of what is entirely wrong with Brexit.
“Brexit means Brexit” will be a mantra which will haunt her for years to come, as, ultimately, May couldn’t deliver on her own promises. Boris’ appointment will set the agenda of a completely different tone and pace for negotiations with the EU, whose officials in Brussels must be kicking themselves today that they didn’t go with Emmanuel Macron’s idea of forcing the UK out of the EU sooner rather than later.
But it will take a prime minister of great character, who is respected by world leaders, to throw his weight behind something bolder, which will satisfy the Brexit camp in the Labour party as well as Remainers in the Conservative Party that Brexit is going to happen.Much will also depend on the new team of negotiators which that PM will choose, with some arguing that Nigel Farage should be part of that lineup.
Johnson will have to decide whether to embrace Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party or keep it at a safe distance. He will also probably prepare the country for a real no-deal Brexit which, although would cause serious problems of infrastructure and business, would not be the Armageddon which some analysts predict.
