It’s remarkable Andrew Adonis kept his job for so long given he has said all this about the government’s main policy:

• Compared Brexit to appeasing Hitler
• Called Brexit “self-mutilation”
• Said Britain should have joined the Euro as it would have averted Brexit
• Called Theresa May’s top aide Nick Timothy a “Brexit extremist”
• Demanded MPs “halt Brexit” and “scrap Brexit”
• Claimed Brexit could mean “planes grounded, nuclear power unsafe”
• Called the EU Withdrawal Bill the “National Betrayal Bill”
• Reckons Brexit is being driven by a “David Davis-Keir Starmer axis”
• Compared Brexit to the Titanic sinking
• Wrote to Tony Hall demanding the BBC sack Andrew Neil for “pro-Brexit bias”

Even most Remainers aren’t pushing his barmy letter this evening. Not the words of someone thinking rationally.
