Forget curtains and cash – Johnson’s legacy will be the bitter taste of Brexit | Polly Toynbee

The prime minister has imperilled peace in Northern Ireland, and every day the economic fallout worsens

Amid slippages, losses, vanishing investments and export drops, the drip, drip of Brexit damage never stops. I collect examples every week, as if picking up spent mortar rounds from a battlefield.

A breathtaking 800 roll of gold wallpaper distracts our eye. A prime minister who caused tens of thousands of bodies to pile high, while apparently fixing taxes for pals and contracts for cronies, has our eyes out on stalks. No one knows how deep in slurry Boris Johnson can sink and still swim out.
