Polly Tuscany is the very sort of angry, upper class champagne socialist who's properly cross about Brexit because it messes with their holidays and their kids' gap-yah plans. She neither understands, nor cares about, the working class voters whose cause she flatters herself is also hers. Her prediction is based on a fairly standard failing of the British left, which is to despise one's political opponents and assume them to be utterly incapable of anything (a trait you rarely see on the mainstream right, where the opposition is generally treated as intellectually wrong, but not fundamentally wicked). That angry little rant essentially boils down to a prediction that the EU will continue to exert the same influence it does now, the UK will score none of its negotiating objectives and the whole exercise will be shown to have been a total, unmitigated and pointless disaster. My own prediction is that she's too blinded by hate to be taken seriously.
