Martin Coffee remarked:
In my view political people do not actually have a mandate to negotiate
any particular "settlement" with the rest of the EU as none was offered
for the electorate to vote on.

There were a whole set of so-called promises, most of which were retracted
the day after the referendum.

Like the punishment budget, you mean?

Not to mention the dire warnings about the collapse of the pound. Which has
gone down a bit , but nothing like what some were suggesting. Also ironically
Osborne only last year was suggesting that perhaps it would be good if the
pound did drop to aid exports. That god he's gone, useless plank.

I don't think time will be kind to him. I think he will be seen
as one of the biggest failures we've ever had as Chancellor.
Six years wasted, and all those cuts made in order to fail to
balance the books, contrary to all his predictions.
