Has he reached the stage where he’s deliberately sabotaging his own position?

Jimizo, I don't think so. He is just a jibbering, headless chicken

He will make history not exactly as he envisions but rather as the PM responsible for the biggest economic disaster the UK has seen ( Brexit) and for the UK to be reduced to England and Wales.

The man is a postering grand stander with no content.

especially about the north

The North should join Scotland as they claim independence. Posh-boy governance only works for some in the South.

I hope they finally go it on their own. Hell, Brexit sets quite a precedent. Call it ‘Scotxit’ just to hammer the point home. The last referendum was neck and neck and exit polling showed that one of the major reasons people voted against independence was because, if they remained part of the UK, they’d stay in the EU. Because that is no longer the case, I’d be willing to bet that a LARGE percentage of people who voted to stay the last time around will be eager to break away. Maybe the EU can even fast-track Scotland’s accession to the EU.
