Most of the usual suspects on Twitter are attacking Hunt for being a remainer and a globalist like this is a bad thing. Surely he has got most of the big calls right unlike Frost who is a 'Little Englander who was an ardent Brexiter.

What in the name of jumping Jesus?

Scotland won't be able to run its own foreign policy, as far as I know. Would be odd for everybody to have missed this, I reckon. And "Napoleonic"? I thought Napoleon was a centraliser- certainly French governance was very centralised until relatively recently.

And how does "these changes are dangerous" and "Labour wants nothing to change" go together?

So Frost’s now joined the Edmund Burke school of conservative gradualism. Depriving Frost of a platform and £300 a day for the rest of his life is more than enough reason to abolish the Lords.

Frost's a particularly ineffective brexiteer.

He makes it pretty obvious he holds leave voters in contempt; rubes to be exploited and impoverished.
He's also not as clever as he things; so very poor at hiding his contempt.

Another "How hard can it be?" rugger bugger who watched too much Clarkson in between decking swots, did a well paid non-job for a few years, thinks he got where he did on merit. A classic "born on third base, thinks he ran there" type, as the Americans say.

Brexit circles - twinned with the lend of the blind.

We don't hear so much from him these days- has he blown it, or was getting a peeraging and bailing out the whole plan?

How we are missing wisdom like this, which might make a few in NATO nervous.

That's Dunning Kruger, right there.
