Abstract

British newspapers tried to proclaim an improbable victory snatched from the jaws of doom.

“Brexit Breakthrough” shouted The Times. In The Daily Express, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had reclaimed Brexit’s slogan: “PM: My Brexit Deal ‘Now Takes Back Control'”.

Even those who had supported Boris Johnson’s scheming to reclaim the Prime Minister’s chair from Sunak joined it. The Daily Telegraph featured his statement, “Sunak: My Deal is a New Way Forward”. The Daily Mail exulted, “Has Rishi Done the Impossible?”

As so often with the tragic festival of Brexit Britain, reality is more sobering.
