The Bank of England announced that voting to leave the European Union has cost Britain more than £440 million a week in lost growth since the referendum.

That's enough to build a new hospital every week – and give its staff the 15% payrise they deserve.#BrexitReality #NHSPay15

Brexit mastermind Dominic Cummings recently told Laura Kuenssberg that leaving the EU could have been a mistake, and now, one of Brexit’s loudest cheerleaders, Tory backbencher and European Research Group member, Steve Baker has tweeted this –

Did somebody mention the Leopard’s Eating Faces Party?

These five tweets cover all the ground that needs to be covered.

1.

Steve, I bring terrible news. It’s your Brexit. It’s your ‘fiasco’. You were at the epicentre of the policy-making elite who pushed it through, without scrutiny, in the harshest terms possible.
As for poorer and colder, you have consistently voted against welfare increases… https://t.co/poUYeKhRfE

Political fiasco made flesh/self-styled 'Brexit hardman' Steve Baker now thinks Brexit is a 'political fiasco'.

Dominic Cummings:
“Anyone who’s sure Brexit is a good idea has got a screw loose”

Steve Baker:
“Brexit is a fiasco”

These guys must be furious at the people who were behind the Leave campaign.

I never before encountered a tweet with such a vast dramatic arc. I just kept reading and every word got worse.

It is a masterpiece of cognitive dissonance from one of the foremost advocates of poor and cold and Brexit. https://t.co/Yak8zC0bMN

I mean, joking aside, if I was a Brexiter having both Steve Baker AND Dominic Cummings calling out Brexit as a "political fiasco", then I'd be feeling pretty insulted.

To conclude –

If a government with an 80 seat majority isn't responsible for the political fiasco of Brexit, who is? pic.twitter.com/eTmhP6nddH
