The government is living in an alternate reality. During WW2, Michael Foot and others wrote Guilty Men about the disastrous failure of the British elite’s appeasement policy: their inability to grasp the world they were living in. He’d have a field day with this lot.

Carney is not fucking around.
Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos reportedly received a standing ovation.
The speech marked the end of an era.
It will no doubt be looked to as part of the historical record of the end of the transatlantic rules-based international order.
