Don’t worry, all of us in London are as mystified over Brexit as you are. Even those of us who know a lot more about it are still scratching our heads over what comes next. As far as we can see, Boris Johnson, having just achieved his lifelong desire of becoming prime minister, doesn’t seem to be able to do anything now that he’s there. Which, to be honest, is a bit of a pity.

We’re all hoping that he has some trick up his sleeve. He is clever, after all. (This means nothing outside England, but he was a classics scholar at Balliol College, Oxford — don’t worry, it just means he’s the smartest person in the room unless Bill Gates is also there). Even we who have been desiring Brexit for a decade or two, working toward it, planning for it, can’t see what the trick up Johnson’s sleeve is.
