It could have been a simple typo. It could have been an optimist, wanting to believe some good news about Brexit or it could have been government propaganda. I wish I could be sure that it wasn’t the latter.

Sadly, the reality of Brexit will still be true, whatever it is, and believing it will work doesn’t actually help much.
