Let us separate matters. We face a political upheaval of the first order, but this is a necessary catharsis. Governments come and go. So do political parties.
We face a much more serious constitutional crisis. It is why some of us want a national unity government, keenly alert to the interests of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
As Professor Kevin O’Rourke from All Souls College argues here, most Leavers waltzed into Brexit with scarcely a moment’s thought for trauma inflicted on both sides of the Irish border. This carelessness must be rectified immediately.
What we do not yet face is a global financial crisis or a “Lehman moment”. The world’s central banks were ready for Brexit and have acted in unison.
