That's not what he meant, if you read the whole thing or actually saw the interview, it was said in the context of the UK political establishment/ elite as being as corrupt as the EU institutions we are leaving.

Also, and as I have always maintained, the way brexit is being managed/negotiated. We we'll end up with some half arsed fudge, half in half out, in which case, what was the point. So if he thought it would end like this, he may not bothered in the first place.

That's how I interpreted it.

It's not that he doesn't still believe in brexit, but he doesn't believe the government can deliver it. He's probably right.

The only way we could have delivered brexit from a position of strength would have been to trigger article 50 the day after the referendum result, and just left.

and then renegotiated with the EU from outside of the EU.

Yes it would have been painful to start with, but not the death by a thousand cuts we've suffered since.
