Yanis Varoufakis’s Question Time take on Theresa May’s Brexit went viral because it’s so brutal
Another week, another person on Question Time gets to the heart of Brexit and the mess we find ourselves in better than any politician right now.
And this week it was the turn of Yanis Varoufakis, author, economist, former Greek finance minister, who was scathing in his assessment of Theresa May and how we have ended up where we are today.
‘This is a deal that a nation signs only after having been defeated at war’

A country that went to war with itself and then celebrated victory by blowing off both feet with a 12 bore shotgun.

But in the interests of balance and all that, there was also this.
Says the guy who took his country to the precipice over a deal he didn’t like, which was then signed on even harsher terms, while he took off to lecture the world on how to negotiate with the EU. https://t.co/PiipIquSbN
