As a reminder, Johnson did not say that the deal was not great. He said it was “a good deal for the whole of Europe”.

Yes, but we were where we were. And given where we were, it was the best deal that could be achieved. You remember very well, I am sure, that he was very critical of the May deal, which gave too much away. But starting again from scratch was not an option.

More old ground. I thought we had established way back that if we remained in the single market, we would not be leaving Europe. This is a point that even many politicians didn't grasp at the beginning of the process.

Had anyone said to me that we would be staying in the Single Market, I would have asked why we were trying to 'leave' at all, because this would have been disadvantageous to us without reaping the benefits of Brexit.

If you genuinely believe that, as opposed to just being contrary, I’d seriously consider a man of your age speaks to your GP.
I was just bigging you up as a man of taste when I mentioned the champagne, but now you've ruined that image.
