Starmer believes in Johnson’s big economic lie about Brexit

WAit, careful Keir speaks Brexit? Is this a) because someone threw something into the Labor leader’s coffee on Monday morning? Political pills? Or is it b) the fact that the economic damage is so glaringly obvious that ignoring this Godzilla-level commerce destroyer and letting the Tories do it makes him look like a Berk?

Give yourself a gold star if you answered b).

Here’s the problem: Starmer’s Brexit speech still makes him look a bit like a Berk – unless the Labor leader is just plain terribly dishonest. Not dishonest at Boris Johnson level, that’s true. But still dishonest – even if he believes it. The hard fact is, you cannot make Brexit work any better if the entire project was built on a foundation of dishonesty and the creation of economic myths – something that is becoming clearer by the day.
