The Brexit rebels
within the Tory Party are more than a little upset that the
wording of an agreement that they thought that they had reached with the Prime
Minister was subsequently changed to make it meaningless and worthless. At first sight, their anger seems entirely
reasonable – what’s the point of negotiating with someone who later denies
having ever agreed anything and arbitrarily demands agreement to something
totally different?
But, hold on a
minute – isn’t that exactly what the whole government has been doing with
Michel Barnier and the EU27? Every time
they think they’ve got something agreed with the UK Government, that government
denies everything and claims that they could never and would never have agreed
to any such thing. A few rebel MPs are
being wholly unrealistic in expecting more honesty and integrity than anyone
else gets – especially when it appears that the government can rely on most of
Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition to help them achieve their aim anyway.
