The London bureau chief for Germany’s public broadcaster reflects on Britain’s government.

If we are to leave the European Union we want a sensible Brexit. There’s no chance of that just now. / "Brexit has paralysed the system. It has turned Britain into a laughing stock. And it is certain to make us poorer and to lead to lower incomes and lost jobs."

It’s chilling. From the Mail, The Times to the BBC and ITN, everyone is peddling Downing Street’s lies and smears. They’re turning their readers into dupes.
