Jacob Rees-Mogg has given the game away - even this government knows Brexit is a disaster | Jonathan Freedland

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Or you could share the outrage of British farmers, appalled that, thanks to Brexit, they have been left at a serious competitive disadvantage: they now face onerous and costly checks when they ship their goods across the Channel, while French, Italian or Spanish farmers face no such hassle moving their products in the other direction.
54% : He and his fellow Brexiters once looked forward to these border checks, seeing them not merely as a price worth paying for leaving the EU but as a genuine benefit.
53% : There's plenty to attack here, starting with the nerve of hailing this move as "saving" Britons £1bn, when this was £1bn that Britons would never have had to spend at all if it hadn't been for Brexit.
51% : He is admitting that implementing Brexit in full, honouring the 2016 promise to take back control of Britain's borders, would be "an act of self-harm".
51% : The irony of hearing Rees-Mogg declare that "free trade is hugely advantageous to consumers" after he and his comrades pulled us out of the largest, most successful free trade bloc in the world - the European single market - would be funny if it weren't so bitter.
44% : For Brexit was this government's founding purpose.
