Myth-making started at Christmas and hasn’t stopped since. Brexit has been completed with a historic contract and the European Union has been on its knees on a number of issues, according to Downing Street for days. Nothing stands in the way of an era of ‘national renewal’ now, the UK is ‘free’.
The last-minute treaty with the EU was immediately called the “Christmas Eve Agreement” in London, as if on par with the historic Good Friday Agreement that ended the thirty-year civil war in Northern Ireland in 1998.
The British government’s imaging machine has also been at full speed for days: Boris Johnson in front of a curtain of British flags; Boris Johnson relaxed in front of the fireplace, waiting to chat with Ursula von der Leyen; Boris Johnson wide awake and naughty on the phone; Boris Johnson with thumbs up on outstretched arms. A statesman in the process of completing his greatest work.
