That opposition politicians and the EU refused to join in the self harm is not a surprise or an excuse for what has been done (or not done) since 2016.

It is fair to reference Covid as a reason for delay, but the rest of it is entirely the responsibility and fault of the Tory government.
We'll have to agree to disagree, it was an impossible task, so many MP's from either party decided to feck it up and make sure it wouldn't work, well they have got their wish, we've got a half-done crap deal, which will have damaged the economy, at the worst possible time, right before Covid and Russia's War with Ukraine.
