The woke warriors in the cabinet? Or the government? Or the ruling party that has an eighty seat majority? Or the right wing papers that dominate the media?
Or is he complaining that the Guardian and Twitter are somehow wrecking the country?

>In general terms, that things should have reached this point was almost inevitable. On the one hand, much of the damage and failure of Brexit was predictable. On the other hand, as I’ve argued many times, the most committed Brexiters are so invested in the idea of being betrayed and of victimhood that no actual Brexit would have satisfied them. Taken together, this meant it was almost guaranteed that the idea that ‘Brexit would have worked but it wasn’t done properly’ would develop.

Is Lord Frost including himself amongst the wrong people?
“Frost calls on Mr Johnson to revitalise the country with ‘free markets, free debate and low taxes’..”
This ship sailed years ago.
Frosty is the very kind of unelected that brexiters were supposedly rebelling against.

And to think, some people say that obsessive purity testing only happens on the left of politics.
