The Telegraph, a mouthpiece for Boris Johnson’s most ridiculous fantasies, has been royally mocked today for publishing a deluded column about our upcoming Brexit negotiations.

The article was written by Liam Halligan, a columnist at the newspaper, and is entitled: “A united Britain will have the upper hand over a divided and declining European Union.”

As we all know – despite his relentless claims – Johnson’s proposed policies will not “Get Brexit Done”. Instead, he is merely setting us up for painful, protracted negotiations about our future relationship with the EU, which will most likely end with the renewed peril of medicine shortages and mile-long queues at Dover.

And yet, in the mythical world of Mr Halligan and The Telegraph, Britain is now somehow stronger than the combined might of the EU 27, and will be able to bully the world’s largest economic bloc.

Therefore, true to form, the good people of Twitter have been pointing out the absurdity of Halligan’s remarks.

Ouch.

WHO WE ARE

We write news that exposes the deception of populism and the hypocrisy of the elites who peddle it. We run campaigns that allow us to work together to fight back.

We hate Brexit. We hate Boris. We hate the far-right. We want climate action, the end of austerity, and a more tolerant future.
