Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Michael Heseltine, former Conservative deputy prime minister, launches a scathing attack on Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, arguing that the British public was lied to during the Brexit campaign and that the decision to leave the EU has been a damaging failure. He calls for reversing Brexit, describing it as a 'heinous crime' and stating that the claims made by Brexiteers about its benefits have been exposed as bankrupt a decade after the referendum.
