90% of Brits believe the way the UK government has dealt with Brexit is a ‘national humiliation’

Regardless of whichever way you voted, we can all agree that the way Brexit negotiations have gone is nothing short of embarrassing

To say the fucking least

Regardless of whichever way you voted in the EU referendum, we can all agree that the way negotiations have gone since that day 33 months ago is nothing short of embarrassing. And that’s not me projecting my opinion onto other people, a new Sky data poll shows that as many as 90 per cent of Britons believe it is a ‘national humiliation’.

The poll conducted by Sky News also asked Brits who they lay most of the blame at for the current shambles that the country finds itself in, with the most common answer being the UK government.

Next was MPs in general, not exclusively the government, while just 7% blamed the EU. Just under a quarter of responders blamed all of the EU, parliament and the government equally.

And then asked whether the way the UK is dealing with Brexit is a ‘national humiliation’, 90 per cent said yes, just three per cent said no and the remaining seven per cent admitted they don’t know.

That’s pretty damning for this government, who claim to be carrying out the will of the people. Nobody was asking for this.
