Boris Johnson basically said Brexit was a disaster without saying Brexit was a disaster and it had people hollering into next year
The good news for everyone apart from anyone in New Zealand is that Boris Johnson has travelled to New Zealand. Don’t hurry back, obviously.
We mention it because Johnson, who is presumably earning a lot of cash and trying to shift a few extra copies of his book, reflected on the state of the UK right now.
And it’s the very definition of ‘say Brexit was a disaster without actually saying Brexit was disaster’.
Boris Johnson, “I came to New Zealand.. Lots of people are fleeing the UK at the moment.. It’s very sad”

Johnson gleefully and unpatriotically celebrating how Brexit is driving talented people out of our country (so he remains in his vast mansion, obviously). https://t.co/oDK0wFI5jT
