Is this a Remainer coup?

I don’t normally vote Tory. But I did in December 2019. And for one reason only. Because I wanted Brexit ‘done’, properly. I wanted a Brexit-leaning government after those two long years of the Remainer parliament and its various efforts to frustrate our leaving of the EU. Millions of people, especially in Red Wall areas, took a punt on Boris’s Tories for the same reason. Because they believed it was time Britain had a government that better reflected, or at least tried to better reflect, the views of ordinary people, especially the much-maligned masses in those ‘left-behind’ Brexit-backing areas.

Fast forward nearly three years and I find myself in a country run by Remainers. Everyone agrees that Jeremy Hunt is the de facto PM. This is Hunt the arch Remainer. Hunt who at the very least flirted with the idea of holding a second vote on the EU. There might need to be a ‘democratic endorsement’ of ‘the terms under which we leave the EU’, he said in 2016.
