In an amazing piece of chutzpah, Tom Goodenough at The Spectator (HERE) has written an article about what he calls "rowing back on project fear warnings". I think this is intended as a counterweight to remainers asking for Vote Leave to be held to account for their ridiculously exaggerated claims.
I am not sure even the examples he has been able to find amount to "rowing back" but he is also asking other Brexiteers to send examples where they feel warnings about leaving the EU were over egged and those making them are now resiling from what they said before the vote.
This is a bit like the captain of the Titanic, after the collision with the iceberg, asking passengers to send him examples of water rushing out of the ship. It may distract them from worrying about their fate but it isn't going to prevent the ship sinking. We'll keep an eye on Mr Goodenough to see how many examples he comes up with - as all the warnings come true.
