Brexiteers are doing exactly what Boris Johnson doesn't need | John Rentoul

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : As I wrote yesterday, the issue in 2022 that will do the most damage to the Brexit cause is not the continuing evidence of the economic damage inflicted by Brexit.
62% : Some Remainers have spent too much time trying to prove that Brexit was a bad idea on grounds that don't matter to Leavers, and worrying about what Keir Starmer should say about the EU at the next election.
59% : It is not happening in the way that some Remainers expected, which was that Leavers would realise that Brexit imposes financial costs and see that they had made a mistake.
57% : Having got Brexit done, what was Brexit for?
56% : But politically an endless EU negotiation meant endlessly reminding people why they had voted for him for the first time, and that Labour couldn't be trusted not to try to reverse Brexit.
55% : There was always going to be a problem for Boris Johnson in having fought an election on the promise to "get Brexit done", which was that once it was done there would be no need for his electoral coalition to stay together.
55% : Nor are most Leavers interested when Remainers point out that Brexit isn't "done", because the negotiations over trade terms are continuing.
53% : He was elected to take back control of our borders and in this respect he has failed to get Brexit done.
49% : Get Brexit Really Done This Time"?
46% : It is remarkable that the ERG, the European Research Group of backbench Eurosceptics, who delivered the withdrawal agreement that got Brexit done for Johnson, have now turned on him as the CRG, the Covid Recovery Group.
45% : Those conflicts were suppressed as long as the revolution had to be defended, but now that the battle has been won - and the substance of Brexit was completed only a year ago today, when we started to trade with the EU as a non-EU country - the divisions are opening up.
