Abstract
One of the pitfalls of being a Brexit columnist is to be caught in an ever-rising crescendo of I told you so’s. It’s tempting but self-defeating, as there are so many other strands of magical-thinking to pluck at. The same type of having your cake and eat it populism that was behind Brexit is still now deployed on issues such as migration: the make-believe idea that we can reduce the number of migrants, whether in the UK or Europe, while at the same time adhering to all human rights agreements and growing our economies.
