This James O’Brien tip for working out who to trust on Brexit is becoming increasingly useful

As we career towards the Brexit cliff edge, more and more options are entering the fray, with Norway Plus, Canada Plus Plus Plus, Unicorn Light and who knows what else – but which commentators should we trust? LBC presenter James O’Brien, who has been proved right on far too many occasions, thinks there’s only one real way to judge.

He compared people protesting against Brexit with those advocating for it to happen, and to happen by any means.

“What’s in it for Anna Soubry? She’s painted a target on her back that some deeply unsavoury people have started taking aim at. She doesn’t emerge from this if Brexit is somehow stopped any richer or more famous.”

“Jacob Rees-Mogg has ceased to be a figure of fun for some people and become, inexplicably, someone respected. What’s in it for him? Some people point out that his investment fund is very heavily embedded in emerging economies. The two funds that are going to open up in Dublin. The curious celebrity.”

In the absence of any other unifying characteristic, it’s a good enough method for now.
