But it was all Project Fear, see?

Here's another:


Northern Ireland secretary admits she did not realise nationalists refuse to vote for unionist parties when she took job

...

Karen Bradley said at the time of her appointment earlier this year, she did not understand campaigns were generally fought within each part of the community, rather than across it.

"I didn't understand things like when elections are fought for example in Northern Ireland - people who are nationalists don't vote for unionist parties and vice-versa," she said.

Here's another from 2016:

Minister for Brexit David Davis appeared unaware of how EU trade deals actually work

The newly appointed minister in charge of negotiating Britain’s exit from the European Union appears unaware of how EU trade deals work, it has emerged.

David Davis was appointed as Theresa May’s Secretary of State for Leaving the European Union on Wednesday evening immediately after she arrived at Number 10.

The staunch Leave backer, a former Europe Minister, however said during the referendum campaign that Britain would negotiate individual trade deals with other EU countries.

However one of the main basic features of the European Union is that EU countries cannot negotiate individual trade deals with outside countries and instead do so as a bloc of 28.

The basic fact, which was paraded by other parts of the Leave campaign during the referendum, leaves Mr Davis’s original plan for one-on-one trade deals in tatters.

And now, undeterred by being the laziest, most useless politician I can remember in my lifetime, out of a very competitive field, he's on the starting blocks to sell us down the river to Trump:

David Davis claims he's been in US drumming up a free trade deal despite ditching Brexit Secretary job in July... but warns May's EU proposal will 'block all avenues of negotiation'

Doh! If it wasn't for those horrible Eurocrats, we could set course full speed ahead and finally officially become the 51st US state.
