Brexit won’t get done and Boris Johnson’s election triumph will be shortlived – Richard Heller

As this newspaper has reported, he may sweep Labour out of Yorkshire strongholds which did not fall to Margaret Thatcher in her 1983 landslide.

He should enjoy his triumph while he can. In a short time, he is likely to be very unpopular. The first reason for this lies in his central promise. If re-elected, he is emphatically not going to get Brexit done. Passing the Bill to apply his EU Withdrawal Agreement (largely scissored-and-pasted from Theresa May’s) will simply mark the first stage of a bitter, contested divorce.
