“One thing is for sure – the mess didn’t start in 2022 but in 2016.” Funnily enough, some Conservatives agree. Former Tory chancellor George Osborne said Britain’s political class was living in “unreality” – failing to understand the scale of the economic decline since Brexit. Even the Daily Telegraph’s assistant editor admitted the “Remainer establishment” had been “right all along”. Remarkable. So where do we go from here? Liz Truss has given up on her radical right-wing project, bringing in the establishment Remainer Jeremy Hunt to clean up the mini-Budget mess. Could the all-powerful chancellor also clean up the protocol mess by forcing a deal with the EU? Quite possibly. If you’re looking for answers on the way ahead, it’s now best to ignore No 10. Truss doesn’t seem to know what’s going on from one day to the next."
