'Global Britain' badly needs a new driver at the wheel

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The combination of the insanity of Brexit and the Johnson government's manifest incompetence is now seen to be adding geopolitical impotence to economic self-harm.
58% : It has been wryly amusing to hear BBC interviewers leaning over backwards not to offend the government: for example, by trying to goad fruit and vegetable farmers into saying their recruitment problems are surely not caused by Brexit.
51% : Not only is Brexit catching up with him, he also now faces a standoff with Chancellor Sunak and the Treasury over public spending on everything from precautions against global heating to the level of pensions.
50% : I just love the fact that Baker, having made his contribution to making the country poorer with his championship of Brexit, is now campaigning against measures to mitigate the impact of climate change on the grounds that the cost of electric cars and new boilers would involve "making the public poorer".
48% : Thus, facing a looming crisis in the supply chain for such a staple part of the British diet as chicken, Richard Griffiths, representing British poulterers, told the BBC that this was the "direct result of Brexit".
45% : The fiasco and tragedy of the retreat from Afghanistan have laid bare the folly of the Brexiters' Faustian pact: choose the irresponsible but vote-winning Boris Johnson as your leader; say "goodbye European Union, hello world"; and, oh dear, it turns out not to be the triumph they promised.
